Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Consider the following tree of user1:

.
a/
  aa/
      file1
  ab/
      file2

I would like to give another user user2 (full) access to the folder aa, but not to ab.

If I give user2 permissions for aa, nothing appears under their Documents. file1 shows up in searches.
If I give user2 read permissions to the parentfolder a, I cannot change (create/edit/delete) the permissions for aa and ab => user2 has access to file2. Further user2 can upload files to a and ab despite only having read permissions. He cannot delete them though.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to give a user permissions to a subfolder and have it appear under their Documents, either with the same path as user1 or just plain under documents, but moveable.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I would like to overwrite permissions given in parentfolders

Version 1.5.5
