Feature suggestion: protect folder with password

Post by Simicro »

Hi,

May I suggest a "protect folder with password" feature.

A clear "yes", "no", or "maybe" answer would be much appreciated.

that's a definite maybe :)
there's an easy way to protect folders without passwords, just use the SECURITY tab to limit access to a single user, you
of course administrators can bypass this protection but if you are the only administrator...

Good to hear, thanks.

Just a thought: some "protect folder" software have a smart feature in my opinion: if you forget the password, you fill in a form with your order number and the password is sent to you by email.

Hello nikos,

Can you please say if the status for this suggestion is still "maybe"?

If the status has changed to "yes", is it realistic to expect the feature developed in 2017?
