3 Advanced policies to protect folders
The following settings help us prevent users from deleting folders we have authorized and prevent users from creating a lot of junk files in the shared folder, keeping our shared folder structure unchanged.
At the main interface. Go to Control panel
Enter Shared folders.
Select the parent folder and click on the middle icon to enter settings.
Check the options as shown. The options are as follows:
- Owner is admin, the person who created this folder
- Only the owner can delete this folder
- Only admin can create files and folders
- Apply to files and subfolders inside
These options ensure that in the parent directory only admin can create files and folders, group members cannot delete files and folders in the parent directory. From there, only the designated members have access to create and delete files in the subdirectory as authorized in the previous section.
