If DirX is the shared folder, and Dir1 is a subfolder (ie, \dirX\dir1)
of DirX, you should be able to share DirX for Everyone with Full
Control, map that to a drive and then set the file system rights for
Dir1, Dir2, Dir3 with the rights that you want.

You have the choice of creating file system permissions for each user
(joe, bob, sue) or you can set permissions for a user group (either
Administrators or Users). In any event, you have to create local
accounts for your remote users, unless you are using domains and Active
Directory.

Make sure that if an account has permissions set by account (eg, joe)
and are also members of Administrators or Users that they get the right
permissions. If you only restrict individual account permissions then
you want to remove or restrict the Users or Administrators group
privileges, since joe is both "joe" and a member of one of those groups.
The union of the permissions is what is granted in file system
permissions and the intersection of permissions is what is granted for
file and network access.
