Hi,
If you don't want to use the Public folders (and no, they do not double the
amount of space used), then you need to share your user profile's data
folders. Do so by right clicking one and choosing properties/sharing tab and
enable network sharing. Then open the network and sharing center and enable
file sharing and public sharing.
