Hi r33hal,

Thanks for posting your question. I see you want to know about password protection for shared documents.

To clarify one point, iCloud Drive folder sharing is not a feature that's currently available. It is mentioned in this resource, iOS 13 - Features, with the post-script that it is expected in the spring.

Regarding sharing files, while there's not a way to password protect a file in iCloud, it would only be available to the people you opt to share it with. You can learn more about this here: Use iCloud File Sharing to share documents with other iCloud users
