Proton Drive Password Protection
For the past few months, I have been using the Proton Drive. It's a great resource, but I'm always active on my email and wait to log out. My concern is that I have sensitive documents in my Drive, and I would like to have the option to set passwords to folders, or when accessing DRIVE, the system will ask me for the password to edit and move or delete any document. However, the password will not be required to upload documents. This way, if someone takes control of my computer, they won't be able to access my files as quickly as it is now.

It would be nice when making a new folder with in proton drive to have the option of password lock or have a 2FA lock. That way when you want to have a more secured folder for any reason we could double lock it for extra security and the peace of mind. So often when i am working and have the apps open and get called away that lets the app open for someone snooping or even if its shared by others and multi people are using the drive. If we could lock down a folder for just that more private business stuff it be nice.

I would like a feature for enabling password for folders in Proton Drive (Similar to mailbox password 2nd one or two password mode).
It would be slightly helpful to increase user security.

Fully agree. If I'm logged into my emails on my mac, it is just a click or two to then access all of the stored data on proton drive. It would be a huge improvement to require a 6 digit (or whatever) pass code to access the proton drive. Similar to how proton pass works currently.
