That is the best way to do it, a shared folder between accounts, but the next step would be to MOVE the files out of the shared folder and into another folder on your account. Moving them out of the shared folder will remove them from your ex partner's account. If you just copy them, the files will still exist in the shared folder for both you and your partner as well.

One thing to keep in mind, however, is that as the owner of the shared folder, your partner will have the ability to restore any files that were in the shared folder, even after you remove them. I would suggest that you make yourself the owner of the shared folder so that you can remove your partner's access after you've moved all of the files out of the folder.
