Where to create a shared media folder?

Where to create a shared media folder? I'd like to place all my family's media in one shared folder for everyone to use from any computer. Whether it's a PC or home server.

"I would recommend creating and using a /srv mount point for ""services provided by your system"".

Personally, I have the following:

/srv

/srv/mm (for ""multimedia"")
/srv/mm/music (all shared music)
/srv/mm/photos (all shared photos)
...
...

I then mount these directories using NFS on all other family computers on the network. I use the same naming convention on each client to keep things simple."

I do this exact thing with an external drive. Same basic idea as the new partition without repartitioning. I have never looked into the nuts and bolts but the drive is on when you boot up so shows up for everyone and we use it for any data that is appropriate to share between users.
