How to Add Password to a Folder

Adding a password to a folder is a simple yet effective way to secure your sensitive files and data from unauthorized access. Follow these steps to add a password to a folder on Windows:

1. Right-click on the folder you want to password protect.
2. Click on 'Properties' in the dropdown menu.
3. Go to the 'General' tab and click on the 'Advanced' button.
4. Check the box that says 'Encrypt contents to secure data' and click 'OK'.
5. Set a strong password for the folder when prompted.
6. Click 'OK' to apply the changes.

Now, your folder is password protected, and only users with the correct password can access its contents. Remember to keep your password secure and not share it with unauthorized users.

Adding a password to a folder on macOS is also possible through third-party apps or disk image encryption. Research and choose the method that best suits your needs and level of technical expertise.
