When some users, especially our 3rd party consultant, only are granted permissions to some folders but not all the folders in a BIM 360 DOCs project, they are able to see the whole folder structure on web (with the that feature enabled), but when it comes to Desktop connector, apparently it does not support that and those same users are not able to see the entire folder structure. And what's more, if the project has 2 parent folders that both have sub-folders called "123", and the users are only given the permission to the "123" folders but not the parent folders, in Desktop connector, as they don't see the parent folders and workstation OS does not allow 2 same name folders at the same path, the system will automatically re-name the 2 "123" sub-folders to be one called "123 (1)" and the other one called "123 (2)". Following by this, as the whole folder structure these users see in Desktop connector is in a mess, they can't upload anything in Desktop connector though they do have permission to those sub-folders. This is really frustrating that obviously the dev teams for DOCs and Desktop connector were not aligned. I do hope this can be brought on the table for the dev team of the Desktop connector, and hopefully there will be a fix to this in near future software update.
