 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.
