How to Password Protect a Folder in OneDrive

OneDrive is a popular cloud storage service by Microsoft that allows users to store, share, and access files online. While OneDrive does not have a built-in feature to password protect folders, there are ways to secure your files within the platform.

One way to protect sensitive documents in OneDrive is by encrypting them before uploading. You can use third-party encryption software like VeraCrypt or 7-Zip to secure your files with a password before storing them on OneDrive.

Another option is to create a password-protected archive file using WinRAR or other similar tools. You can add the files you want to protect to a compressed folder and password protect it before uploading to OneDrive.

Remember to choose a strong and unique password and never share it with anyone. Additionally, enable two-factor authentication on your OneDrive account for an added layer of security.

While OneDrive may not have a direct folder password protection feature, these methods offer alternative ways to secure your files on the platform.
