Permissions for Sub-Folders

Permissions for Sub-Folders

Hi People,

 

Drop box Business user.

 

We have 3 folders at the highest level..

 

Folder 1

Folder 2

Team folder

 

We have different permissions for access to Folder 1 & Folder 2 depending on staff's requirements. Some staff can only access Folder 2, but all can access Folder 1.

 

Team Folder is not used (could be the solution, see below)

 

We now have the need to lock certain folders within Folder 1 and Folder 2 to just 1 or 2 users e.g

 

Folder 1>Financials

Folder 2>Financials

 

My impression is this cant be done using our structure unless we move these folders to their own folder 'Folder 3' and set permissions for that.

 

A bit of googling makes me beleive this may be possible in the 'Team Folder' as these have extra features.. If so how do I do it?  and can I move Folder 1 and Folder 2 inside of 'Team Folder' with ease or is it a PITA?

 

Thanks

Wish I had read these posts before upgrading. I think the main issue here is that the promise of "granular support" is misleading as the higher tiers do not offer granular support after all.
