Restricted access to subfolders

Question

Is it possible to restrict the access of co-owners of the parent folder for subfolders? Or at least to mark a subfolder "private" for a limited group of co-owners only?

Hi Andrea,Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!Permissions in Box always follow our waterfall permission model. This means that when you add a user to a parent folder that same level of access is automatically inherited by all of the sub folders that exist in the structure at the time you add the user, as well as to any new folders that get created there later on. There is not a way of changing this behavior in Box at the individual user level.If this is something you would like to be able to change, I would highly recommend submitting this feature request at pulse.box.com! Our product managers review these requests and take them into consideration for future product development.All the Best,
