Again to clarify: You say you installed your LL OS to one partition and left another separate partition for file storage. When a user writes a file to that partition and saves it there those permissions apply. Another user must have the same permissions, however when mounted the extra partition has its own permissions which match whatever permissions it's previous user applied plus whatever was applied during install. Ext 4 is a journaling file system. You have three owners in effect, root, user1, and user 2. Root owns BOTH ext4 partitions and your OS file system (per your installation) It's not going to perform the way you want, the way you are trying to set it up. *Fat 32 with a storage flag would work for you depending on the file extensions and what you are doing with them. It's really kind of pointless to have the extra ext4 partition and not manage it as a db, especially if you want to share files between users.
"What I does is I tries to use two separate users (both is actually me as I'm the only physical user of the laptop) where user2 is the one that deals with sensitive files (passwords, etc...), as an alternative to using temporary encryption such as Veracrypt."
Hard to understand the point of this for an everyday LL user.
