Locking Folders Inside Files App on iPad

On my MAC, I’m able to lock a file folder to prevent changes/deleting it. Since I’m new to the iPad world. I’m wondering in my files app if I have folders and subfolders that I want to lock is this possible (like on my MAC)?

iPad Air, iPadOS 17

iOS/iPadOS doesn't provide the facility to lock files or folders.


Apple does invite submission of feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to see specific functionality in a future release, this would be the most appropriate channel through which to make a request for consideration by Apple:
