Permissions

Suppose the /New Folder/ folder was shared with EFT Account accountB, and accountB's home folder is /accountB/. After sharing, a new virtual folder is created, /accountB/New Folder/, that points to /New Folder/. After sharing Folders with EFT Accounts, each access point has its own permissions. You can apply permissions to /New Folder/ or to /accountB/New Folder/; both have the same files, but each path can have different permissions for each user. For example, you can apply permissions to /New Folder/ or to /accountB/New Folder/; both have the same files, but each path can have different permissions for each user.
