Public folders are not sharable in Windows 8.

I have expected that any folder under a public user is accessible by any user on the computer.  That's how I can see with windows 7.

However, I don't see it with Windows 8.1.  I have changed the path of all the download folders of every user in Windows 8 to C:\Users\Public\Downloads as what I have done with Windows 7.  However, I can't access files downloaded by another user on the same computer when I log on to any user account.  Why?
