Do nested folders inherit the permissions on the parent folder?

I have a folder A. It contains a lot of folder V
With videos, if I share folder A, with strict permissions all permissions are applied to folders V?

    Hi Carkcinaik, welcome to our Community! 

     

    Can you clarify what you mean "strict permissions" exactly?

     

    If you share folder A, then the members will also have access to all the nested folders in there. Do you use an individual, or Business plan?

     

    Keep me posted!
