Creating a common folder for all users

I have a f9 system at home and it is used by me, wife and kids.

Sometimes we want to share files docs, pictures and stuff. Here are my plans,

1. mkdir /fileshare

2. create "share" group

3. add all users this group

4. chmod -R ug+rwx /fileshare

5. chown -R root:share /fileshare

6. for each user, rm -rf /home/<user>/Public

7. for each user, ln -s /fileshare /home/<user>/Public

Whatever they copy to their Public directory, it will be visible by all.

Will this work? Is there a better idea?

Thanks,
Steve
