Question

 Problem 01: I need to assign folder permissions to multiple users and groups to sub-folders under document library. But cannot be able to assign to groups. When I apply permissions to individual user, They able to view folder under their Shared option in OneDrive. But, when I assign to permissions to group, users may be able to access directory via link but folder not visible to their shared folder under OneDrive.  Problem 02: I need to apply permissions to sub-folder without applying permissions to Root folder.

Answer 1

1.In the SharePoint online, if we share a folder with a Microsoft 365 group with the Share menu in the ribbon and choose "People in your organization" in the Link Settings, after the members of this group open the link of the shared folder in the email, the shared folder will show in their Shared with you section in the OneDrive.

(1)Open the folder in the email.

(2)The shared folder shows in their Shared with you section in the OneDrive.

2.Here are steps to apply permissions for a sub folder.

(1)Select the folder -> Manage access -> More options -> Advanced settings.

(2)Click Stop Inheriting Permissions -> Remove user permissions you do not need -> Grant user permissions you want.

(3)Then people with granted permissions only can access this folder.
