If I want to share some data between users, what is the best strategy with Realm Object Server. For instance 5 users want to share their favorites movies. Everybody share 3 movies and they should see a list of 15 movies.

If all users share all their favourite movies, they could each have their own realm to write to. You can give all other users read permissions to that realm. By keeping a reference of all realms(in a realm where everybody has read/write access), a user would load data from all other users and thus see their own and the others' favourite movies.

  • "By keeping a reference of all realms(in a realm where everybody has read/write access)". That's mean I have to manage an external table with all the referencies? In addition to Realm I have to use another database? – Alan Digitals May 08 '17 at 13:07
  • You don't have to use another database. I was suggesting you keep use another realm(where everybody has read/write access) to storing the path to each of the users realms with movies. e.g. `/moviesRealmsList` - a list of all users moviesRealms (R/W to all), each user can have its realm with movies `/~/moviesRealm` (R to all, R/W to current user), each user can also have other private realms, for example a list of movies to watch : `/~/toWatch`(R/W to current user) – Radu Tutueanu May 09 '17 at 08:53
  • I get it, I thought about this solution. The problem is the size o this table. It works for few users. It will be too big for thousand of users. – Alan Digitals May 09 '17 at 09:13
  • Who should create the shared database? any user or the admin? I've tried to create a Realm without the ~ but I can't see it on the server – Alan Digitals May 13 '17 at 13:42
