    Hi,
    I need to manage access permissions to users so they can only access a specific sub-folder on Dropbox. Is it possible to limit access to a specific sub-folder on Dropbox to a set of specific users? Or is there some other way to achieve this?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    Hi – after working with the plugin, I can see how this is accomplished by assigning a specific role to a specific top-level folder.

    So, what I am looking for is this same functionality, except to assign a more granular specific user to a specific top-level folder.

    Hi Mark,

    There are no immediate plans to add this functionality to the plugin.

    You could potentially achieve what you’re aiming for by using a plugin such as WPFront User Role Editor and creating new custom roles; one role for each user. For example, set up a John-Doe role for the user John Doe and a Jane-Doe role for the user Jane Doe, etc. (Normally you’d give more generic roles names and assign user[s] to those.) Access can then be granted to these roles for each specific subfolder(s).

    Hope that helps.

    Chris
