Sharing folders and game files

SO I recently versed my self with sharing local user folders between users. My girlfriend and I share a computer with two user profiles, but we both have steam accounts. Now, I'm not sure how the data storage works for steam, but I'd like to set it up where we both can run steam from our separate user desktops, and (even if we have to log in and log out of steam) be able to play each other's games.
I'm not worried about licensing so much as avoiding downloading the games a second time by, say, logging her into my user account.
I did some internet searches, but  the result were all over the place; if someone has a tutorial or another post that I missed, please let me know so I take this one down.
Blessings,
toodles.

Re: Sharing folders and game files

This may be what I am looking for, but after the installation, it may just be easy to login into each other's computer profiles. lol Thanks, I'll dig deeper.
