Is there a way to have a shared folder with a view-only file inside of it?
I'm trying to have all of the files in one spot and was having trouble with the shared files being able to get edited without being in a folder. Is there a way to put a view-only file in a shared folder or is everything in there able to get edited?

Hi Jalby! Thanks for your post.
I’m afraid what you’re asking isn’t possible. At the moment, it’s only possible to change the sharing permissions of a specific member to the whole folder.
In this case, this file will need to be placed outside of this folder and shared separately with view-only permissions instead.
Hope this helps.
