Can’t share files in team-folders

Summary of the issue you are facing:

Can’t share files in team-folders

Steps to replicate it (hint: details matter!):

  1. I created a team-folder and shared it with group 1

  2. Group 1 is now seeing this folder

  3. Group 1 creates file in this order

  4. Group1 is sharing this file with another group

  5. Group 2 doesn’t see the team-order or the file in it

However, I see that Group 1 has permission to share.

Am I doing something wrong, do I have to do it differently, or is that not how it’s supposed to be done? How can I do it differently without having to recreate and share all the folders as an administrator?

Ok, i think i found the solution :slight_smile:

I used my admin-User for creating the file (Admin-User is in Group 2 an in Group 3 (admin-group))
First i gave access to the folder via team-folders to Group 1 and Group 3 (admin), created the file and after i removed admin-group (Group 3) the owner of the file wasn’t in one of the groups who had access (only to read over the new share), and so he doesn’t have permissions to share this file. After i added group 3 again and tried another user (with only Group 2) it works for this user.
