Sharing folder between root and standard user

Firstly let me state that I AM a complete newbie with Linux and still rely mostly on the gui to get anything done.

I have a two part question.
First,is it more secure to keep files you use a lot(password managers, personal files) on the administrator account or a standard user account.I have read it is best not to logon with the administrator account.

Second, if it is better to keep them on the administrator account, how can the standard user access one particular folder in the administrator account?
I've been bouncing around reading articles about sharing folders but have not seen anything that answers this question.
