ChrisWebbTech so the only way this would work is by inviting individuals instead of using security groups? That would be difficult to maintain in a big environment.

Sounds like you need to build some communication sites and site structures to support your file locations.
Sharing a bunch of random locations with groups isn’t maintainable.
I do think the shared with me needs improvement. But try to build some sites around your file structure.

ChrisWebbTech It's not random locations, As I mentioned before It's a single site but includes multiple folders and I provided access for each of those folders to different mail enabled security groups.
Seems the notification function is not working for mail enabled security groups.

Then send out email to all to the root folder. They will only see the folders they have access too. I don’t think root permissions are needed as limited access will allow enough to get in. If not you might have to add read to all and remove that from each sub folder.
