Is this the first time you’ve seen this error?:

Can you reliably replicate it? (If so, please outline steps):

The issue you are facing:
Other users do not see the file system we have set up. As an admin, I have set up folders for others to access the topics they need, but when they log on, they see a different view of other, sub-folders, which have been shared with them. How can we set it up so all can see the initial folder set up?

Every user has their own file system. When you share folders each separate share will appear in the root of the users’ document tree.

Thank you…how would I set up a tree that has folders aligned for easy use by each user, with main headings at front?

Sorry, I don’t really understand the question…

Maybe this helps: any share shows up in the ‘root’ for users, you can’t control where they end up.

You’d have to create a folder structure and share the root of that if you want a specific tree structure.
