    Welcome to the forum, eapen!
     

    To invite a user to join your Business team, you'll need to follow these steps. 

     

    After that, you can add them to another group with these steps instead. 

     

    Let me know if that helps.

Hi eapen, that's the correct method on how to restrict access to folders. Separate groups with differing privileges allows you to assign those groups to specific folders to whatever they need to see.

 

The 'Everyone at' group could still be used for 'generic information; folders, like company rules, safety protocols, and the like, which all staff need to follow regardless of their level.

Hi Jay , Thanks for the reply.

 

When i share a folder with a group, is there a way i can stop the email notification being sent to the members in the group.

I do not want to sent to the members email notification each time a folder is shared since most of the folders are already shared.

 

Thanks,

Eapen Thomas

    Currently, it wouldn't be possible to prevent the email notifications being sent out when they are added to a shared folder.
