I would like to encrypt one single folder in the binder using a password. This could be a useful feature for secure sync by Dropbox or also in the future iOS-Mac Scrivener version file transfer.

Please, see this topic for for details of my proposal  
[https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/scrivener-for-a-clinical-record-logbook/21443/1](https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/t/scrivener-for-a-clinical-record-logbook/21443/1)

specifically the following message  
[posting.php?mode=quote&f=19&p=147562](http://www.literatureandlatte.com/forum/posting.php?mode=quote&f=19&p=147562)  
“However, what about an encryption process of single folders directly in Scrivener? (It’s for Scrivener people!).This would allow more easy synchronization via Dropbox. Of course, this is simply a suggestion for a wish list of new features. I imagine that one could select a folder in Scrivener and decide to password-encrypt only that folder before accessing the File–\> sync to Dropbox procedure. I expect this process to be similar to password-protection of files in Word. It would be a highly valuable addition to an already striking product. I am really fascinated by Scrivener now that I am using it routinely.”
