Multiple similar named shared subfolders

Example:

I have folder structures like:

  • Projects (root)
    • Project 1
      • Images (shared read only)
      • Reports (shared with write permission)
    • Project 2
      • Images (shared read only)
      • Reports (shared with write permission)
    • Project 3
      • Images (shared read only)
      • Reports (shared with write permission)

I want a user to have write access in the subfolder Reports and only view access in Images. When I set that up the user now gets an overview (Using the Nextcloud App or WebDAV) as follows:

  • Images
  • Reports
  • Images (1)
  • Reports (1)
  • Images (2)
  • Reports (2)

Which is ofcourse very confusing. Is it possible in a native Nextcloud environment where installing plugins or add-ons is not possible. To share subfolders in such a way that they don’t show up as duplicated folders but still have different permissions?

Ideally, I would like the user to see:

  • Project 1
  • Project 2
  • Project 3

Where the subfolders in those folders have the necessary permissions, I have set up.

Is this is deliberate design choice or is there a possibility to share different subfolders with different permissions under 1 main folder without showing duplicates.
