Hi @reibalboaOMG

I think the best way to really secure the File is to set permission within the folders/files themselves. A flat directory would be good cause it's easier for you to granularly set the permissions as overriding folders will be confusing unless you really want to assign a whole folder for a specific user.

To assign permissions from PowerApps, utilize Power Automate.

Here are some Automate guides on how to do it:
