Restrict access to folders within a shared folder

There is a real need for setting folder access restrictions within a shared parent folder. 

We have several folders shared across teams that occasionally requires specific subfolders to be limited to one team or select employees and there is not way to accomplish this without moving the subfolder to a completely separate parent folder, disrupting our workflows.

    Hey Tylerbonts! Thanks for your suggestion. 

    Just to clarify, do you mean that you’d like to restrict access to a specific subfolder, even when it’s not located within a team folder? 

    Let me know.

    Precisely. I have a shared folder for the entire team, but I would like a specific folder with sensitive information to be limited to select team members.

    I do not see moving that subfolder to an entirely separate parent folder as a solution as it belongs within the shared parent folder where the project documentation is housed.
