.htaccess File Options -Indexes on Subdirectories
Solution 1
The correct answer is
Options -Indexes
You must have been thinking of
AllowOverride All
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html
.htaccess files (or "distributed configuration files") provide a way to make configuration changes on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.
Solution 2
htaccess files affect the directory they are placed in and all sub-directories, that is an htaccess file located in your root directory (yoursite.com) would affect yoursite.com/content, yoursite.com/content/contents, etc.

I have the following .htaccess line, simple no indexes on root.
Options -Indexes
What do we add so it propagates to any sub directory instead of having to create one file for each? One .htaccess on root only.
