What, exactly, doesn't work? What is it that you're trying to accomplish and what steps have you taken. Please be specific.
As posted by OP. You now need to got to the folder, select "Share", then set various options. In order to share it you have to "create a link". You can then customize this link to have a password, prevent downloads, etc. The password is set, but whoever has the link can view the folder anyway even without password. You can then delete the link, then the old link will lead to user to a login/create account screen, after which again the password is not checked and the folder can be viewed.
