Abstract
A method and system of sharing a folder in a file system between an owner and a grantee is provided. An indication of a folder to share with a grantee may be received from the owner. The folder to share may be a subfolder within a parent folder, the parent folder not shared with the grantee. Then, sharing permissions indicating a level of access the grantee has to the folder may be stored with the folder. A virtual folder corresponding to the folder to share may be created on a device of the grantee. The virtual folder maps to all objects within the folder to share and may be stored at a level equal to parent folders of a file hierarchy on device of the grantee.
