My suggestion based on the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard would be somewhere in /srv/

Everyone in the family has a digital camera or cell phone and they seem to be leaving picture files all over their home folders, and laptops with no sense of year/month/day taken or what they are about.
Looking to consolidate all the family pics in one location on a samba share on the primary workstation that happens to have 2TB of mirrored storage.
This is all behind a firewall that blocks smb protocols in and out, and the iptables on the primary workstation will be set to only allow smb to/from specific family laptops.
I have read the manuals...so I know one can get samba and selinux to dance together.
But...I don't really want to set a boolean so that all the /home folders can be shared. Would rather create a separate folder and give it the correct selinux context, but there is a warning to be careful to not use a "system folder" because they already have the proper selinux contexts.
So...if one were to create a new folder and share it out via samba, where would be the best location to create it so as to not conflict with the selinux contexts of the distro?
/usr/share? /usr/local/share? /usr/mnt? somewhere in /var? or somewhere else?
