How to password protect a folder on OneDrive

We are going to explain to you how to password protect a folder in OneDrive, so that you make sure you have it well protected. Microsoft does not offer an option in OneDrive that is to put a password to a folder, since to access the folders you need to log in with your account, and for this you have to type the password that you already have in it.

However, there is a method with which you can add a password. You can make the folder shared even if you don’t specify with whom, and so you can put a password as an extra layer of security. A link will also have been generated to share this folder, but the decision of whether to share it or not will be yours.

Password a OneDrive folder

The first thing you have to do is right click on the folder you want to protect with a password to display the context menu. It does not matter if you do it in the OneDrive folder of your operating system or in the web version of the cloud storage service.

When the context menu appears, either in the operating system where you have OneDrive installed, in its mobile application, or in the web version, choose the Share option even if you don’t plan to share the folder with anyone.

You will enter the Send link menu, and the folder will be marked as shared. Once this window opens where you can manage the link to access the folder, click on the button Anyone with the link can edit or the message that appears in the button that is placed there, since it may vary in the folders that you already have shared with a certain configuration.

You will go to the options where you determine how the folder is shared. In these options click on the Set password section which is where you can put a different one. In this window, if you want to limit access to the folder, you should also deactivate the Allow editing option. Once you have entered the password, click on Apply.
