Hi,
I've finally found the solution. The key was in the https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/manage-another-person-s-mail-and-calendar-items-afb79d6b-2967-43b9-a944-a6b953190af5?ocmsassetid=ha102749416&ctt=1&correlationid=7b427ea1-f61d-48a5-b6a0-f401d9fe5f2a&ui=es-es&rs=es-es&ad=es#__add_another_person_s
I just needed to add "delegated" mailbox manually in the "delegate" account managent, from Outlook.

Yes you can, either use the client (both Outlook and OWA) or PowerShell (Add-MailboxFolderPermission). One thing to keep in mind is that you need to grant at least "viewer" permissions on each folder in the path to the folder you're sharing, including the "root" one.

Hi Vasil,
I think I've tried assigning permissions from the root to the subfolder. I did it using OWA and without assigning delegation permissions to the user, because if I set the delegation, full access to all the folders hierarchy was applyed. I will try again. The problem to test it is the delay, the changes are not applied inmediately.
Thank you very much!!
