How do I share a folder with only a select group

Question

I have created a new folder in an area that all can see but I want to set up access to only a few

Answer 1

To share a folder with only a select group in a Microsoft environment, you can follow these general steps:

1. Open the sharing settings for the folder you want to share. This can usually be done by right-clicking the folder and selecting the share option.
2. Select the option to share with specific people. You will need to enter the email addresses or names of the users or security groups you want to grant access to.
3. Set permissions for the selected users or groups. You can typically choose whether they can edit or only view the contents of the folder.
4. Send the invitation or share the link with the selected users. Make sure to inform them that they have access to the folder.

This process ensures that only the specified users can access the folder, while others who can see the folder will not have access to its contents.
