I have a SharePoint online site with different users added (read-only). Everyone has a folder where they can store their personal documents.
Is there any way to make each account see only their own folder with their documents when they enter SharePoint online site? I can´t figure out the right way to do it; I need it to be some sort of personal storage.
You could change the folders permissions to make each folder only access to their own account. You could refer to this article to manage permissions for folders:

Here is my requirement:
I want to create a folder called "My Documents".
This folder will share with multiple members, they have access to add, edit and view documents.
But the condition is that they can see their documents themselves and the document should not show to other members.
For example: Suppose user1 and user2 both have access to the folder "My Documents." If user1 creates doc1 only he can see the doc1 user2 can not see the user1's document. I mean Folder "My Documents" will be shared but space should be private.
In general SharePoint lists have item level permission and Document libraries don't have such facility available through UI but you can achieve this using PowerShell.
please follow : https://www.sharepointdiary.com/2014/03/set-item-level-permission-options-in-document-library.html
Note - The settings enabled through PowerShell applies to all documents inside the library not for any specific folder. And the settings are not applicable for Site owners and administrators.
This is not possible using the setup you have done so far. When you grant access to folder, all the files within that folder can be accessed by all users who have permissions on folder.
So, in general you have to grant unique permissions at file level instead of folder level so that other users will not have access to files.
Beware of the SharePoint limitations related to unique permissions in library. It is recommended to design library to have as few unique permissions as possible and remain below 5,000 in total.
Source: Unique security scopes per list or library
Granting unique permissions on multiple files/folder will be problematic to manage in future.
My recommendation:
If you are creating site/library structure from scratch, create separate document libraries (preferred) or folders for different set of users (maybe based on SharePoint/M365 groups than individual users).
I'm trying to create a custom master page template in a SharePoint Online environment. I'm using the Design manager to upload the design files. I've mapped the network drive like the page described and can open and view the files, but I cannot upload files to the location. Every time I try I get the following error:
Error 0x800700E0: Access Denied. Before opening files in this
location, you must first add the website to your trusted sites list,
browse to the website, and select the option to login automatically.
I've added the site to the trusted sites list, as well as selected the option to login automatically. The WebClient service is also running.
How can I upload files to this location?
The only explanation I can think of is that I am logged into windows on a Microsoft account, and I use a different Microsoft account for SharePoint. I can map the network drive fine, but when I try and map it with the option "Connect using different credentials", and I use my SharePoint Online account, I get the same access denied error.
Thanks
Check permissions for the document library/folder in which you're trying to write files. Folders like _Layout which resides at root level sometimes do not allow access of write. Global administrators have full access to these folders but tenant or site collection administrators may not have its access.... For example try opening this link in browser https://yoursharepointsite.com/_layouts/15/fonts this is where font files are like Arial.ttf or Comic sans.ttf So if you want to add new font to your sharepoint online themes you'll have to add files here.
Do this open SP Designer -> open main site -> browse left side menu for your folder and try copying something. If you can copy files there you should be able to copy through your mapped drive.
Also when you mapped drive in Windows Explorer didn't it ask for credentials, where you had to give in your Office365 login email then it can't be an issue of your windows credentials messing up with anything.
In this circumstance, it was actually the Trusted Sites that I had added. I added 'mysite.sharepoint.com' as well as '*.sharepoint.com' to my trusted sites. As soon as I also added: '*.lync.com', '*.microsoftonline.com' and "*.outlook.com", I had no problems writing to the directory
I want to give permissions for subfolders in Owncloud.
Example:
a user can edit and read all the files in a synchronized folder except some specific subfolders.
Im working with desktop client and web interface. Version: OwnCloud 8.0.3 (stable)
As far as I know a user has access to all his/her folders and files, plus any files that are shared with him/her by other users. You cannot restrict access to user's files if they are in that user's account.
My assumption is that you are an administrator and can create accounts, etc. A workaround might be the following, but it is a workaround and not the solution you've asked for:
If there are some files that you'd like more than one user, or only specific users to be able to view; you can share them using the web interface.
You could create a master user who has access to all files and then share with the other users from the master account.
If anyone knows any different to this please suggest an edit to my answer and I'll put it in.
I have a folder in a Sharepoint Foundation 2010 document library with unique permissions so only a specific group of users can access.
The folder is created only in some cases and it's important that other users can't know when the folder exists or not.
But if a user with no access permissions types the direct url doesn't get an error, but a page showing an empty folder.
It's good that he can't see the content, but it's not good that he can know that the folder is there.
Is it a Sharepoint security bug?
[EDIT]
I made a test on Sharepoint 2007. Users with no access on a folder get a Access Denied Error if they type the direct url.
I think the behavior on Sharepoint 2010 is a real bug.
No, it's not a bug. This is how it has always worked.
I created a SharePoint sub-site, and accidently deleted all permissions groups except for the Members (which included me) and now I'm stuck looking at the site I've created but I'm not able to edit or delete it and create a new one.
Any idea of what I could do to get myself out of this situation?
Thanks,
Ash
Normally you can still sign-in with the system account.
If not try adding the system account to the Site Collection Administrators. (In the settings of the root site of the site collection. )
You'll need to use an account that's in the Site Collection Administrators.
If you're not able to view the Site Collection Administrators (in Site Settings), you'll need to contact the admins of the site and ask them to re-assign you Full Control permissions to your site so you can begin rebuilding your site permissions.
