I think this would be a really useful tool and applicable to our business as well.
If you user doesnt have any permissions on a folder do they really need to know its their?
The difference between having it in the team space and having it in your team member folder is that if it is in your team member folder the user you are sharing with has to accept the share, whereas if its in the team space this is not the case.

Exactly. In my opinion, in a company there might be some folders which most of the employees don't even should see, e.g. some folders for the top management. Using the team member folder is not a good solution for me, because I want to have a clean and consistent folder structure which includes that a common folder (whether a huge group of people should have access to it or a small one) is always located in the team space and not in a team member space (also due to the fact that people in a company change).
