  • ShelterShelter - a Freefree and Open-Sourceopen source app (I've no affiliation) that leverages the "Work Profile" feature to provide an isolated space for cloning apps - acts as a content (media) provider and provides "File Shuttle" option which lets you access Work Profile files from Personal Profile through "Storage Access Framework":

  • You can also run a small http/ftp server for file sharing on either side, or sync to cloud storage, if not restricted by policy.

  • The most widely used trick for file sharing among multiple users is Android/obb directory which is shared among users to save storage space. Sharing was managed using bind-mounts in early days but then handling was added to FUSE/sdcardfs internally. However sharing is deprecated in Android 10 introducing mount option unshared_obb in sdcardfs.

    So up to Android 9 you can use obb directory for file sharing among users/profiles:

    ~# mkdir -p /storage/emulated/*/Android/obb; touch /sdcard/Android/obb/test_file
    ~# ls /storage/emulated/*/Android/obb/* /storage/emulated/obb/*
    /storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/test_file  /storage/emulated/10/Android/obb/test_file /storage/emulated/obb/test_file

So it entirely depends on the profile creator's policy if the file sharing is allowed or not, usually not desirable in a corporate environment. However following method may work in all situations:
