Can you Password Protect certain Folder or files with Dropbox Professional

[ALP687]

Read that you can password unshared files or folders with Dropbox Professional version. Is this true?

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.

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
