Hi KDZ ! You should be able to create a restricted folder from All Files (on web) as well. You just need to select 'Specific People' when creating the folder - see attached.

Let me know if that helps!

Since the folders already exist, i tried from explorer. I tried to remove team member, and received message Couldn't remove member. Removing them again.
