Group not showing when attempting to share

Hi,

I created a new folder and wanted to share it with a group.  Some of my groups do not show up when I attempt to do this.  

I am navigating to the folder, clicking Share, and then typing the name in the search box.  The image below shows the group name on the left, but when i type it in on the right, it doesn't show up.  

Did i miss a step when i created the group?  Or can groups only be assigned to folders in the admin console\groups?

    In case someone is having trouble getting the autofill to add a group when they try to share a folder.  Try going in the Admin area under Users & Groups -> Groups Tab - Click on your group and click Edit under the Shared Folders section.  Then add the folders you want, set the permissions level, click the Save button.    Hope this helps!
