Is it possible to hide folders that I do not have access to when accessing Azure Files?

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, thank you for posting your query here!
Let me explain how this roles works and they are been defined, see here based on your requirement you can assignOnce you've enabled Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) authentication on your storage account, you must configure share-level permissions in order to get access to your file shares. There are two ways you can assign share-level permissions. You can assign them to specific Azure AD users/user groups, and you can assign them to all authenticated identities as a default share level permission: assign share-level permissions to an identity
configure directory and file level permissions over SMB
You can do an AD integration with SMB to grant access to users. Here you can learn more about it: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/better-security-with-enhanced-access-control-experience-in-azure-files/ also, if possible, review the RBAC roles article What is Azure role-based access control (Azure RBAC)?
• Using Azure AD authentication and combination of READER on storage account plus different roles on the File Shares (in addition more granular user permissions on individual shares or even directories / files) OR • Managing Shared Access Signature per User / Group of users and giving that SAS particular access over a file share
Looking forward for your reply!
