Ability to password-protect folders within Dropbox
Now that Vault is being discontinued, I think it would be useful to have the ability to password-protect folders within Dropbox itself.
I know you can password-protect folders when sharing them, but I'd like the ability to password-protect individual folders in Dropbox, to add additional security. I store client information, financial information for taxes, etc. on Dropbox and while I password-protect individual files, I'd like to be able to password-protect full folders too, just for the added layer of security.

Thanks. I have Dropbox Plus. And it isn't possible to password-protect a folder. Would love it if it was available for all plans. It is a simple security measure which can be really useful. Especially with GDPR and the need to protect information as much as possible!
