IMHO "EFS file sharing" is an unfortunate choice of words on Microsoft's
part. It confuses the EFS behavior with concepts like network shares.
Because the folder itself isn't likely to have any interesting NTFS streams
and because we don't cascade EFS metadata from a parent folder to all of its
child objects, we don't support adding users to a folder.

For EFS best practices, see:
