    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, I am currently using Make (a no code platform) to automate the creation of a folder&amp;nbsp;in a shared folder after the start of a new project.&lt;BR /&gt;The issue is that everyone (30 ~) have access to that folder, when only a small portion (usually 2 – 4) of that team actually need to have access to it.&lt;BR /&gt;I read the API documentation, and I am honestly lost, I don't know which endpoint I can use to remove the access of the rest of the team while only giving access to the concerned people. I can easily get information like the dropbox ID or mail of each team member to make the action.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;If you need any additional information to help me, I am available.&lt;BR /&gt;Thanks in advance.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1631462"&gt;@Poui&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;wrote:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;P&gt;... automate the creation of &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;a folder&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt;&amp;nbsp;in &lt;U&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;a shared folder&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/U&gt; after the start of a new project.&lt;BR /&gt;...

You need another shared folder (or subfolder) - a shared folder for every project actually. Member participation can be driven per shared folder and affect all nested regular folders. In such a way you can add only people need access to particular content and refuse derived access if needed (when the particular shared folder is nested in another shared folder). &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@41457EF40051AFF130FDBFE21B496926/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":winking_face:" title=":winking_face:" /&gt; That's it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hope this gives direction.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Yes, that's one of the scenarios I mentioned above (when you are nesting shared folders and need to exclude derived/inherited access - when parent folder has more members than needed).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1631462"&gt;@Poui&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;wrote:&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/422790"&gt;@Здравко&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So after the creation of the folder, I need to share it ...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;HR /&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;P&gt;By the way, you can do it in one call. When you share a non existing folder, it's created automatically. &lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@41457EF40051AFF130FDBFE21B496926/emoticons/1f609.png" alt=":winking_face:" title=":winking_face:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi, thanks again for your help but I have two questions.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;1. When I try to share a non-existing folder, i get this error instead of it creating like you said :&lt;/P&gt;&lt;LI-CODE lang="javascript"&gt;{
    "error_summary": "no_permission/...",
    "error": {
        ".tag": "no_permission"
    },
    "user_message": {
        "locale": "en",
        "text": "You don’t have permission to perform this action."
    }
}&lt;/LI-CODE&gt;&lt;P&gt;2. despite removing the access inheritance of the folder, my team still have a folder on their dropbox explorer of that folder. It doesn't disappear.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;To be honest I can't reproduce that. It works for me. Are you sure the context you're representing, in your call, really has access permission there?&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://www.dropboxforum.com/html/@9AD39CA637682E9616FBE31CDAF1B6C4/emoticons/1f914.png" alt=":thinking_face:" title=":thinking_face:" /&gt; You may need admin access! Who is the owner of the parent folder and if that's not you, as a member, what access you have?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1631462"&gt;@Poui&lt;/a&gt; 2. If you create a shared folder without inheritance in a team folder, the other members will still &lt;A href="https://help.dropbox.com/share/restrict-folder-access" target="_blank"&gt;see the nested shared folder itself&lt;/A&gt;; they just won't be able to access its contents.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If that's not the behavior you want, you may want to create the shared folder outside the team folder.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
