    Hey AndreiBarta, sorry to jump in here.

     

    Is the "TPA-Projects-dev" folder inside a team folder (a team folder would have an icon of a building on it)?

     

    Or is it just a shared folder in the team?

     

    From what I can understand from your screenshots, the folder has been shared at the "TPA-Projects-dev" level.

     

    That means that the member you want to remove, will need to be removed from that level, so basically from the parent folder.

     

    If this shared folder ("TPA-Projects-dev") is inside a team folder, you should be able to share the subfolders individually.

     

    Can you try and let me know if it works?
