Good points. but that form of structuring has been imposed by the nature of directories/files. I am not sure what the right solution would be for that case, perhaps internal tags for a set, but that would make things complicated. In the nature of sets, maybe this could be done: "Source Code", "Shared With XYZ", "Application1" Sharing could be defined on the set, "Shared With XYZ" is a tag that when defined could have the permissions etc. When a file is "placed in it", it is automatically shared. We need to get detached from hierarchical thinking to see the possibilities, which is difficult as it is all present.
