Answer 1

You might want to reconsider your requirements - as stated, they don't make sense. A "folder" is not an active entity - it never attempts to access anything outside of it on its own.

Hello ren,

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

You can try to set the permission on this folder to block any user or any group the specific permissions.

Right click this folder and select Properties.
Security tab and Advanced permission and add the user or group under "Permissions" tab.

Select "Type".
Select "Applies to".
Check the basic permissions and advanced permissions you want.

At last, you can check if the requirements you want is met.

I hope the information above is helpful.
