Google-drive – Allow others to share the file/folder in Google Drive

google-drivegoogle-drive-sharingpermissions

I have shared a folder in my Google Drive with several contacts.

Can I grant permission to some of them, for them to be able to share with others?
(Sort of making them admins of the folders).

This is what I see when I click on any of the members of the target directory.
I don't seem to find any way of approaching the issue.
