When you create or upload a folder, you become its owner and have full access to the folder and its contents.
Setting permissions at the folder level allows you to grant other users access not only to the selected folder, but also (optionally) its contents as well, such as subfolders, shortcuts, and documents. You also have the option of setting individual permission settings to specific shortcuts and documents within the folder, as discussed in the documents and shortcuts sections.
Notes:
- You many want to add yourself to the permissions list. Though not necessary as long as you remain the owner, if you decide later to transfer ownership of the folder, you will no longer have owner permissions. However, you will retain the permissions, if any, that you specify in the permission window.
- The project or shell Documents root folder is selectable for modifying permissions.
