How to share a folder without sharing a subfolder

[USER4553]

Hello guys,
i am currently working on a nextcloud project for my company and i need some of your help.
The problem is that i want to share a folder called “Projects” which has many subfolders “Mission 1” “Mission 2” “Mission 3” etc.
So i shared the “Projects” folder with the “Projects” Group, and now i want to share the “Mission 1” subfolder with the user1 but not with the user2. Same for the subfolder “Mission 2” that i dont want the user1 to see, i only want to share it with the user2.
Can you please help me how to do that ?
thx
ps : sorry for my english, im french

Nextcloud 16 implements Access Control Lists to replace classic File Servers

An other option:

I found another way how to do it

Subfolders permissions

Hi there, I would like to know if I can share a subfolder in a top share with different permissions then the one defined first. Example: If I create a Finance folder and share it for all finantial department is it possible to create a subfolder CFO where only the CFO can access? Thank you in advance.

Not permitting useres to enter a folder is something different from not letting them see them.

Hi,

as I understand, ACLs are only possible within group folders. Wouldnt it be great to use ACLs on “normal” shares as well?

Like: Share Folder X with an external email but adapt some permissions for exact that external login for some subfolders/files.
