    Hi Jacob, 

    Welcome to Box Community and I'm here to help! 

    As of this writing, we don't have an alternate workaround to exclude your newly created sub-folder to the settings already in place from the parent folder.

    My recommendation for the time being is to submit this as a feature request or upvote here and we apologize for the limitation. 

    Thanks for posting!

    It's absolutely mind-blowing that there isn't yet an ability to manage permissions per subfolder. Deviating from a logical and traditional organization of folders, having to make additional parent folders is insane.

    this is, for lack of a better term, ridiculous. it encourages creating hundreds of separate folders ILO keeping organized folders without the ability to break waterfall permissions.

    Any progress here? I see the initial enhancement request was submitted almost 10 years ago! Mind blown...

    Agreed. This one-size fits all approach to cascading permissions creates significant headaches and lack of content controls. How can this still be the limitations of BOX in 2025? BOX, you can do better than this.

    Don't forget to upvote this issue, ya'll; I'm the one and only upvote at this time despite multiple commenters.
