With the release of PreVeil’s 4.0.0 build, we have introduced a new feature to support subfolder sharing. This means that users can share folders that are under or inside other folders in a file tree with differing permissions and different recipients.

Key Feature Highlights

While subfolders can be shared, there are a couple of key aspects of the functionality that are worth knowing. To illustrate these key points, let us assume the following file structure.

Example scenario: User 1 has the following new folder structure created with the 4.0.0 version of the software.

            Folder1->{Folder 2->{Folder 4, Folder 5}, Folder3}

            Assume that User 1 has shared Folder 1 with User 2 with Edit & Share permission.

With this example in place, the following key aspects of the feature can be stated:      

• User 2 will retain the Edit & Share permission for all the subfolders of Folder 1. In other words, User 2’s permission cannot be changed for the subfolders of Folder 1.

• Any subfolder of Folder 1 can be independently shared with additional users with different permission levels. For instance:

  • Folder 5 can be shared with User 3 with Read Only permission

  • Folder 3 can be shared with User 4 with Edit permission.
