Why I can't see a certain file?

Guys,

I have a disk that is mapped with both windows and linux. I don't know how to say it exactly but this is what happens:
We have a user (A) with certain file (let's call) ABC. Using my linux account (we have the same group), I can't see file ABC using linux. But when I use windows, I can see file ABC in exact folder/location as user A says. I have tried 3 different accounts but I still can not see file ABC at linux directory path. But when I tried a 4th account, it can the see the file. The problem now is, I can't copy the file at linux while at windows copying is denied saying that the disk might be full already. Why do you think this happens?

Thanks a lot, this makes me wonder.
