Hello,

Hi there ninadaycasting, thanks for reaching out to us. 

 

You can receive files from other users without them having access to the rest of the folder contents by using file requests. 

 

I've moved your post here, where other users have expressed a similar concern, so have a look around and let us know if you have any other questions. 

 

Cheers!
