Thanks a lot! I've done a lot of research and nowhere what I wanted to know it was so good and well explained as you did. Really helped me a lot to understand the difference with permissions in a Teams and a Communication site. Much appreciated!
Thank you that was very informative. Is there a way to create a team site but only allow the document libraries to be shared externally (read only)? Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback. Not really. There is a way to do so via classic interface, but it gets pretty complex with permissions management. I recommend sharing a site or a folder.
I have been given the responsibility of an existing SharePoint environment. One of the sites (SharePoint Team site with no Microsoft 365 Group) "archived" a large number of SOP's and documentation by putting the subfolders in a folder with limited access. My problem is that these individual forms didn't have their permissions reset, and users, though they cannot navigate to them from the Documentation Library, can search and access them from the homepage search bar. I haven't been able to find a way to force child folders and files to inherit the archive folder permissions. Is there a dedicated way to force permissions on child folders? If not, would my best option (making sure to keep these files and subfolders in the original SharePoint) to transfer them to a blank sharepoint, wipe all individual unique permissions from the Advanced Permissions settings page, then move them back to the original archive folder with folder permission inheritance on?
Hi would like to know I have a folder with sub folder and files on my computer drive and like to upload on a SharePoint document library. Earlier with help of internet explorer it was easy to upload huge data but now when I copy through upload I tend to loose data from sub folder. Is there any other way to upload entire folder without loosing or missing any files or sub sub folder

There is no way to easily reset permissions once broken. Might be possible via PowerShell
Good information Greg! Thank you for sharing it.
My pleasure, Ivan, thanks for the feedback!

Try drag and drop the top folder - will also upload subfolders as well
Thanks did the same but some sub folders are uploading without files I mean files are missing
@@asmi3007 Strange, this is unexpected behavior. Suggest you contact MSFT
Right, thanks for the advice
