how to keep certain documents/folders hidden within a shared file
I have a shared file currently with only a few people who should keep access to some of these documents. As we start to add more people to viewing this file, we want to maintain some confidentiality with higher up positions. I know I can lock some documents to be view only no edit but what about keeping them from being viewed?

Anyone with access to a shared folder can see everything in the folder. If there are files that they shouldn't see or have access to, move them to a separate shared folder and only share them with the people that need access.
