Shares within shares

[coolrazor]

Forgive me if this is mentioned elsewhere, but I was wondering if the current version of Resilio (2.4.1) will allow me to sync folders within sync'd folders. 

Example:

Sync Folder A:  C:\share\

Sync Folder B: C:\share\FolderB\

Will this create some loop or something that will bring down the universe?

(reason I'm asking about this is because I don't want to use Selective Sync because I don't want my user to "see" my whole Folder A, but just our shared stuff in Folder B)

@coolrazor Yes, it is possible with certain limitations (see here for details) and is called "nested folders". Briefly, you can do it with RW folders only, no Selective Sync.

Interesting, thanks for the link.  That gets me a lot closer to what I'm looking to do.  One follow up question, for example, if I have two sub-folders within FolderB and I want a user to have Read access to one and RW to the other this is not possible?  By only sharing FolderB and FolderA?

@coolrazor Should be working, though never tested 2-level deep nested folders in our lab. Couple more notes:

1. On computer where folders are shared all nested folders still MUST be RW and non-selective. Though, you can share RW or RO links to your other peer (user in your sample).
2. From Sync's POV these folders are totally separate and non-related, so it'll process all the files that are there 2 (or 3 in your second sample) times, keeping 2 (or 3) trees in memory, consuming appropriate amount of resources.

@Romanz Thanks for the information!  I really appreciate it!  I'd love to be able to figure this out and I'm getting close.  Thanks again for the assistance.
