Can you Password Protect certain Folder or files with Dropbox Professional
Read that you can password unshared files or folders with Dropbox Professional version. Is this true?
Ah no, there is no way at all of protecting files or folders on a computer with any version of Dropbox I'm afraid - if a person has access to the machine then its vulnerable

Thanks Mark,
I was actually looking to see if there is a way to secure a folder that is not shared. I want to prevent access to certain folders or if I walk away from a PC without logging out.
I've done research and found I can use a script to do it but was hoping there was an easier way to secure folders. Someone had posted a video that in Dropbox Pro (I have Plus right now) you can click on the 3 dots on the right and there is an option to add a password. I have not been able find any other information.
