Reset the permissions of all subfolders of a team folder to inherit from the parent
We have a Team Folder with hundreds of Sub folders, many with unique permissions. Some of these sub folders go down several levels and at each of those levels the permissions can be different.
Is it possible to reset the permissions on all folders and sub folders to inherit from the parent right the way down the sturcture. Or can we set the perms for everything all the way down the structure to View only?
Thanks.

Hey ShaunT, thanks for your post!
If each team folder contains subfolders, each of which are shared with different people, you'd need to manage the access for each of the subfolders, in order to change it to 'can view'.
I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any more questions.

I'm going to need to find an alternative storage solution at these prices and lack of a crucial security feature. I also have many tiers that need to be reset.
