    Makes complete sense, Garren. 

     

    So, if Folder B is shared with Anna and you create new folders (in level C) inside it, they will automatically be shared with Anna. 

     

    You can add more members to Folder B, and they will also have access to any files and folders included in it.

Hi @Lusil,

 

Thank you for the feedback and very positive answer - it has just made my life so much easier.

 

I have one question with regards to the Level C folders - if I create a new folder in Level C, do I have to share that folder or will it share itself if I create a new folder in Level B?

 

For instance:

Level A - Main Folder not shared

Level B - Sub folders and is shared. Each folder shared to a specific person for Anna, Joe and Steve

Level C - sub sub-folder = if I create 3 folders at this level under Anna's folder would I need to share each one or will it automatically reflect on thier side? 

 

I hope I'm making sense.

 

Regards
