Password Protect PDF Google Drive Made Simple For Free

You can use password protection for a Google Drive folder as long as you were the user who created the files. However, you can't encrypt a Google Drive folder, although individual documents can be encrypted. The owner can control permissions and grant them to users with whom the files are shared.
