All employee laptops are connected to the account and they all have the relevant shared folder stored locally as well as in the cloud.
Question or Issue
I am an admin on a business account. We have a common folder where all of our client files are stored. I hired a new employee that has a conflict with one of our client matters, and we need to wall them off from that one single file among hundreds, while maintaining access to every other file within that folder. The folders permissions use the group that includes all employees, and this person is a member of that group. What is the easiest way to wall them off from this one sub-folder while maintaining access to the other hundreds of files in this shared folder?

Hi Augustine8, thanks for messaging the Community.
Depending on the structure of the Dropbox team, you might be able to restrict access to that folder by following these steps.
This can work for any user, and also for entire team folders if need be.
Keep me updated with any progress!
