If I understand you correctly, neither. As all user sessions are running
on the server, all you need do is create a link on their desktop to the
folder. This can be done with your mouse, right-clicking on the desktop,
but if you want to automatically create such a link on every existing
user's desktop, you can run this in a terminal:
for i in `ls /home`
do
sudo ln -s /media/data/pub /home/$i/Desktop/pub
done
which translates to "in every home directory, create a link in the Desktop
subfolder which points to /media/data/pub".
To have this link created in every new account, you can put a link in
/etc/skel (the home directory template).
sudo mkdir /etc/skel/Desktop
sudo ln -s /media/data/pub /etc/skel/Desktop
