Hi,

One of my project requirement is to hide a top level folder which will have nested other folders. How can this be achived using SDK (Java) is there any attribute for hiding a folder to all users except lets say admins.

Also if I need to do the same (that is hide) for one of the intermediate folder on nested folder structure, can this this be achived some how. And doing so does it have any adverse effect. I looked at the API and could not find any thing related to this.

 

Please advise.

    In Box, you give permission to a user to view a folder by adding them as a collaborator. If you do not add a user as a collaborator, the user will not be able to see that folder in their account.

     

    If a user has access to a folder with child folders, the user will be able to see all the content cascading down. The user will not be able to see content above the folder in its folder hierachy.

    Thank you Murtza. We will handle this based on permission to collaborator.
