creating a folder structure

You’re messing this up for yourself! Teams is built upon collaboration within a Teams and every folder and file will automatically be shared with read/write to all member and owners. You don’t need to invite owners and members to files/folders with that Teams SharePoint library.
For now all sharing is done through SharePoint! It will be possible later to share files and folders from within Teams! I do not recommend to set up this structure within the Teams library though but instead create additional libraries and set explicit permission to those and then add these to teams as cloud storage or library tabs.
You also have the possibility to create private channels to restrict information and files from the rest of the team.
What you are describing will end up in a mess, I’m afraid

Many thanks for the advice.
Can you advice how to do that? I need to give specific users access to specific folders, just like when using a file server
- Are those users members of the team? If so, create a private channel and add those users as member of that channel.
If none of the members of that Team should have access to some files, the files really should not be in that Team.
