Hi @Nguyễn Đức Triển,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.   

Regarding your request to grant a user access to a specific subfolder without allowing them to see other subfolders:

Currently, SharePoint does not provide a permission level that completely hides other subfolders from view. You can restrict access to the content of those folders, but they may still appear in the structure.

I agree this would be a valuable enhancement for better view management. It definitely a great improvement to the current availabilities for Share point site. In that case, I sincerely recommend you go to Feedback community hare it through the official Microsoft Feedback Portal.
