Creating a Password Protected Shared File

Hi, I am trying to create a shared file that is password protected. I followed all the steps to make my link to the folder password protected. I can see the option to make the folder link password protected but it is greyed out and the website will not allow me to click/turn on the password protection. Please help as you're able.

    Hi Heather95 

    Are you a paid user? Password protected links is a premium feature.

    Interesting concept! If it's feasible to convert a PDF to a PNG/JPEG format, it would be essential to add the ability to add a password to each file.
