Permissions for subfolders Owncloud

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.
