I'm not sure of the best way.
I think I would create a new group for the 'few people', and make them 
members of the group. Then change the groupid of the restricted folders 
to the new group, and turn off 'other' permissisions on said folders. 
Then you can give the share for /files to everyone.
I'm pretty sure that'll work for you, but I'd test it to be sure.
