Hey All, 

If we require some of our customers to create accounts in order to give them limited access as a viewer(which I'm assuming we can), versus just giving them box links(shared as viewers), will they be able to go to a bookmark and then "step-up" through the folder structure or will we still be safe to just use bookmark links.

We update content regularly and want to use the bookmarks to lead them to the content but not if it means they'd have access to ALL our folders that way.

  Hi Sean, 

  Welcome to Box Community! 

  To keep your collaborator's access in a certain folder. Please send your invite to the folder itself. Please keep in mind that if you invite them to the main folder, chances are, they will have access to the entirety of this folder. Meaning all the sub-folders beneath your main folder will be accessible to them. 

  I'll say it's safe to invite them to the folder that you constantly work on and create a "bookmark" for it. Moreover, shared links' would be a good choice too especially for non-Box users. 

  Hope it helps! Let me know if you have clarifications.

  Thanks Rona!

  Yes, this all makes sense logically.  I've tested the folder permissions with an outside email, and voila, it works beautifully.  The bookmark leads the to the folder and nothing else.  

  I believe we're all good!

  Have a fabulous weekend!
