Password Protect a Folder on Google Drive

Ensuring the security of your files stored on the cloud is vital in today's digital age. Google Drive provides a convenient platform for storing, sharing, and accessing files anytime, anywhere. However, adding an extra layer of security by password-protecting sensitive folders adds an additional level of protection.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Create a New Folder: Start by creating a new folder in your Google Drive where you will store the files you want to protect.

2. Upload Files: Upload the files you want to secure into the newly created folder.

3. Zip the Folder: Right-click on the folder, select 'Download,' and then choose 'ZIP' to compress the folder into a zip file.

4. Add Password: Visit an online zip tool website that allows you to add a password to your zip file. Upload the zipped folder, set a password, and download the protected zip file.

5. Replace Folder: Delete the original folder from Google Drive and upload the password-protected zip file in its place.

6. Password Access: Whenever you need to access the files in the protected folder, simply download the zip file, enter the password, and view the contents.

By following these steps, you can securely password protect a folder on Google Drive and safeguard your sensitive information from unauthorized access.
