Separating users on S9

Hello, I recently got a Samsung Galaxy tablet for work and recreation. I set up two users and I'm trying to figure out how to keep them separate. My work profile needs access to local files because I do word processing and the like. And it also needs to be able to use photos because I manage my work's Facebook account.

The problem is that the work profile also sees all my private stuff. I don't need (or want) my family pictures and the like showing up in my recent files on my work profile.

For the record, I don't need a super secure wall here. It's not the end of the world if my work profile can browse through and find my other profile's stuff. I just don't want it appearing as recent files and the like.

(Well, actually, a solid wall would be ideal so I don't get tempted to do work stuff when I'm supposed to be relaxing and vice versa. But I'd be happy if recent files just stopped cross pollinating).

One possible reason that this might be happening is because I'm signed into the same Google account on Google Play? But I kind of have to do that because I own apps on that account that I need for both work and play.

If need be I don't mind resetting to factory and setting the tablet up again.
