How to Lock Files/Folder on Lock Computer Drive
With folder encryption built-in and several third-party methods available, it’s never been easier to password protect a folder and protect your most important files in Windows 10. With AES encryption available for EFS and 7-Zip files, your files will be (close to) unbreakable, giving you additional peace of mind. Using software like Wise Folder Hider is definitely the easiest way to password protect a folder in Windows 10. However, if you have sensitive data and want something more secure, you should encrypt it using 7-Zip or VeraCrypt. The simplest method I can think of is to zip the folder into an encrypted archive - but be prepared for people to unzip it elsewhere 'for convenience', or to forget the password and expect you to magically recover it.
Though it’s true the Apple operating system macOS does not offer any native features for password protecting ZIP files, you can however protect the directories – in which ZIP files are located – as image files.
