I’d like to know if there's a way for stop users from copying a folder and the contents from a network drive share. I have placed some restrictions on just read, write and delete, but they can still copy and paste to a different location and that's what I need to stop. Thanks.

You can't. Even if you removed the Modify, they would still be able to do a Save As to another location. Why is this such an issue? Is there Security involved? Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

That's what I was afraid of. Yes the only reason is SECURITY and nothing but. Thanks.

One way to stop users from copying folder/file is to ... Lock down the workstations especially USB ports. i_Xp/VistaUser

I would also recommend refreshing the users on the Security Policies and Procedures that prohibit this. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.

?? If you don't want them to access it then deny or dis-allow list. I guess deny full control would for sure do it. I read it wrong and answer it wrong too. So get off my case you goober.

If they are able to read it, then obviously they are able to copy it (which is just a fancy way of saying, reading it and writing the same thing to a new place). What you are trying to do makes no sense and is impossible, from a technical or security point of view. If they are able to read it, then they already have access to all the information and data. So I don't see any difference in "security" if they can copy it. (Think about it, if they can "read" it and then type it down somewhere else, then it's a "copy".)
