One shared workspace with different folder permissions

[_Sophie_B]

Is it possible to give members access to different folders within one shared google drive/workspace?

I've tried setting up Groups and allocating users to categories, but I'm only able to apply this to the whole drive.

I thought it was possible to give permissions on the individual folders within the drive based on previous places I've worked, but can't find a way to set this up for a new organisation.

Shared Drives use what’s commonly referred to as a “waterfall” permissions model. While many of the specific details are different, Google’s competitor Box has a really good explanation of the concept in the video over at https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043697254-Understanding-Folder-Permissions

Hope that helps,
