Question

I need to setup a file share and allow everyone to see that files and folders exist but not be able to read them.

In server 2012 I can select the "list folder contents" permission for users and problem solved.

In server 2016 and 2019 this no longer works. It only shows the folders and not the files.

I must be missing something simple.

Hi there,

You can use User Groups and assign different folders different permissions assigned to different user groups
