Yes set the user's Permissions such that he can only see what he is supposed to.

Okay I found out how to hide the other Folders in Company Home for a specific user so he only sees Folder A

BUT:

What is if I only want him to see a SUBFOLDER oder Folder A?

CompanyHome
FolderA
–>Subfolder A
–>Subfolder B

I want this specific User only to see Subfolder A.
What i found out until now:
You can grant read only Access to Folder A and Read/write/add access to the SubfolderA.
But I do not want him to see the what is in the other Subfolder!!

Does anyone have a solution?

disable "inherite parent permissions" for Subfolder B, this way the user will only see subfolder A

Hi, have you solved your problem? I have the same but I didn't find any solution for it. Creation of shortcut doesn't solve it because other user doesn't see it.
