Simple, intuitive & secure collaboration in the cloud.

See how you can easily ensure proper access control to folders in your domain with Egnyte’s granular permissions.

When adding user permissions to folders, subfolders automatically inherit the permissions of their parent folder. However, you can disable this feature for specific folders to control exactly who has access.

From the folder of your choice, select Share, then Manage Folder Permissions.

Toggle off Permissions Inheritance, then choose to either remove all previously inherited permissions so you can add users and groups to the folder from scratch

or only keep existing permissions so you can adjust the list of users and groups moving forward.
