I am a physician and I am using Scrivener for collecting my professional experiences in clinical case management. I collect meaningful data of clinical cases in a specific folder (‘Records’, with the real data of patients) and other folders for pathology, hospitals and so on. Then, I use these data for literary comments on diseases and human cases. Of course, literary drafts are completely void of sensitive data with use of fictional names and references to specific cases.  
I wonder if I can strenghten the security of the ‘Records folder’ by encryption or password-protection of this specific folder in the Scrivener Project. At present I am not aware of any method to do this in Scrivener, and if not present, this would be a nice option to add to Scrivener in order to allow Dropbox synchronization of sensitive material in a specific folder.  
Maybe this option could be added to the Scrivener ‘Synch panel’ by allowing a folder selection textbox and a password to use for encryption (something like the ‘save with password’ option of Microsoft Word).

Thanks in advance for any help or comments.
