Deploy a file to shared directory

@Lion55 You can use Composer to create an installer .pkg to place a file in /Users/Shared/ and then deploy that .pkg via a Jamf Pro policy.

+9Nomad, while depreciated, you can add a shared drive, and users are able to access it as a shared point.

I think you misunderstood @Lion55 's question - the Shared directory is a local directory on all Macs at the path /Users/Shared which is a common location for placing files which need to be available to all users of a Mac.

This requires the users to log in to NoMad so it can create the tokens, and due to its deprecated nature, this is an extremely bad idea. Jamf Pro can map a network drive with a policy, and if a token already exists there won’t be any user interaction needed.
+7In my opinion, the best solution remains Composer.

You are correct, re-read it again.
