Permissions to Subfolder not granting acces to parent
SharePoint Online. Have a site that all users have read access to which has a single library with Project Folders (project 1, project 2, project 3) then subfolders 1,2, 3, 4 under each project. I h...
But the user/group should only access "Subfolder 4".
Library > Projects > Project 4 > Subfolder 4
If i give access to "Subfolder 4" the user won't see the folder "Project 4".
If i give access to "Project 4" the user will see all files/foder inside "Project 4"
I need the user to access "Library" and see only "Projects", access "Projects" and see only "Project 4", access "Project 4" and see only "Subfolder 4".
All the parent folders are full of files and folders inside them.
Library > Projects > Project 4 > Subfolder 4

Interesting, I understand the dilemma. Have you thought about changing the architecture to using Team sites and connect them to Teams? Each project could be a Team Site, connected with MS Teams. The subfolders could then be private channels (up to 30) for each Team.
This will be more effective in the long run. If you would like to have a project portal for all the projects and subfolder data, you could connect all project related sites to a Hub site. Fetching data from all the different areas and presenting what the user has access to.

- This will further enhance your project team collaboration by including the tools of MS Teams, chat history, search bar, planner, OneNote, Whiteboard etc.
