Is there a way to lock a folder on iCloud

I have iCloud on a few PC's, iphones, etc. in different locations. I have folders on there that I would prefer be password protected (locked). Is there a way to lock/password protect just specific folders?


Thanks

iCloud does not offer folder level protection. iCloud is not a multi-user product and the assumption is all of iCloud is protected by your Apple ID and password.

Thanks for the reply, I probably wasn't clear enough on my original post (this doesn't solve the problem):

  • This is on a pc running windows 10 home
  • The problem isn't with permissions on this computer, but potentially from a different windows computer with multiple people sharing the same windows account log in credentials, who all have access to the same iCloud drive on the desktop, and there are certain folders that I would like to be password protected.


Thanks for any feedback.
