I am attempting to secure a sub folder within a folder. When I do that, the user I am limiting access to the sub folder is not able to see the parent folder in the document library, so they can't get to the sub folder. Now I can give them a URL with me at the parent folder and just copy my URL to the user and they can then see the sub folder. Just seems odd that out of the box web part for document libraries isn't able to view the parent folder so the user can see the sub folder. I will try and describe that below.
What I am trying to accomplish, is this possible?"User 1", should only see "Sub Folder 1" under "Folder 1" and all files under "Sub Folder 1", nothing else (except the folder name from the parent"Folder 1", no file contents in "Folder 1" should be visible). "Sub Folder 2" shouldn't be visible to this user either.
*Example below shows library, folders, and items (files) and what was done to them, the amount of dashes ("-") is depicting the level so "Folder 1" and "Folder 2" are a the root of the library at 1 "-".
Library 1 (Read permission given to "User 1" on the library)
-Folder 1 (stopped inheritance, removed "User 1")
--File 1 (inherits from parent)
--File 2 (inherits from parent)
---Sub folder 1 (stopped inheritance, added "User 1" as read only)
----Sub File 1 (inherits from parent)
---Sub Folder 2 (stopped inheritance, removed "User 1")
-Folder 2 (stopped inheritance, removed "User 1")
