        Not a question. With all the data breaches left, right and center, having another option to block specific folder from getting hacked is essential

        Nowadays everyone is vulnerable to be hacked , so this option will add another layer of protection and safety .

        Why is there no response to 160 comments since a one liner in March? That's really bad experience... Also - what's stopping this being implemented in business version??? The functionality is already there in personal??! This is so important with GDPR now - c'mon!!!

        This is a valid idea, must get off. Even if I loose my laptop or give it for repair to IT Department, the person who gets it also gets the access to my one drive without any password and is able to delete or modify anything. This can be managed through pass word protected folders. The one drive access should not be kept open even on the laptop where basic work is getting done.

        Plenty of people want it, would be very useful, to keep evrything in the one spot, thats the idea of the program isn't it?

        It's extremely useful to be able to add another password step to protect a folder that is in one drive. Often I use One Drive as my primary location to store my documents. If someone happens to get access to my computer while logged into One Drive they can easily copy all my files including the most sensitive. I would like a way to add a password to access a folder within one drive.

        Have you really taken 4 years to do absolutely nothing about implementing this crucial feature? I'm not angry, .....

        Someone should be fired.

        We need encryption at rest for Onedrive personal too. Thats even more important!!
