If I have a USB drive can I put a folder on it that only a certain user on the computer can view? Let's say I have 3 users sharing a computer. I want it so that the folder on the USB drive can only be seen when user 3 is working on the computer? Can I do that for the whole USB drive itself - for instance make it a system - $ - share?

With large data amounts, you would want an encrypted container file or better encrypted partition.
Use any encryptor you like, for example the free disk cryptor or, if available in your windows edition, Bitlocker.

We are talking about TB's of storage - there can be no manual part to this. It has to be able to handle an automated copy like Robocopy to encrypted area - there can't be a manual encryption step every day
Also it has to be easy to copy off the drive either to the originating computer of the files or to another computer - plug in, enter code, files are visible for copying

Sorry, I don't know why I wrote "win"zipped, I didn't mean it but 7-zip. 7-zip offers encryption.
It also offers working on files and merging new content and new files.
In order to use robocopy however, you need a drive letter - it doesn't offer that but 7zip has a command line that can archive files without compression for fast copying.

Thanks. As far as winzipped folders, can I copy files to a an existing winzipped folder? I am using a scheduled robocopy to copy files to the USB drive - could it copy to a winzipped folder as a destination? Can a winzipped folder have files merged into it?

Hi.
This is an easy task if you use encryption. Use folderguard or EFS or winzipped folders.
If you used NTFS, it would also work, but the risk would be that someone would connect that drive to his laptop and take ownership of the files and assigns himself permissions.
Your users should not be administrators for better protection.

Thanks for the response but I don't think it has much to do with my question. It is about the general idea of permissions. So I will repeat the question, please read it and if please answer the specific questions I asked not the general idea of permissions or sharing. And please answer from your own experience - I can find and read all kinds of documentation via Google - I ask on Experts for personal knowledge/experience.
So here I go again:
"If I have a USB drive can I put a folder on it that only a certain user on the computer can view? Let's say I have 3 users sharing a computer. I want it so that the folder on the USB drive can only be seen when user 3 is working on the computer. Can I do that for the whole USB drive itself - for instance make it a system - $ - share?"
Nothing I see in your answer deals with USB drives, the $ share and whether I can make it so that user 1 and 2 can not see or access the folder/drive created by user 3. For instance what happens if I try to open the USB on a different computer with different users? As far as which version of Windows I will use whatever version of Windows is needed to accomplish this task.

Dear Author,
What is your window system or system ?
Please following instruction steps to set file permission for specified user
-Right click the folder you wish to share and open the Properties Page, then click the Sharing tab
-Click Advanced Sharing. Click "Share this folder". Give the share a name, and edit the permissions to include anyone you wish to access the folder by clicking the Permissions button (the default is shared with Everyone).
-Save your changes, and anyone accessing it will be able to directly access it by it's name, rather than the full path.
-If you end up preferring this method, you can disable the Sharing Wizard (the one that was not working properly for you), by opening Folder Options (Tools > Folder Options from Windows Explorer) and unchecking "Use Sharing Wizard (Recommended)".
Please read this article about setup for permission on files or folder from Microsoft if have time

Hope understand your question completely. If not, pls pt it out
