The idea is to set up a form with just a single field for the password, but restrict it in a way that a success message (with a link to your Drive folder) is displayed when a user enters the correct password. The first workaround solution is to use Google Forms as a sort of gatekeeper for the folder you want to secure.
Solution 1: Use a Form as Password Protected Gateway Unfortunately, there's no native password protection capability for files and folders in Google Drive, but you can use some of the workaround solutions proposed here. Therefore, even if you leave your device unattended for a few minutes, you're potentially allowing others free access to your data. Even though it's hard for hackers to get into your Google account to access your Drive folders, don't forget that you're always signed in until you sign out. You can find the setting when in any given folder by opening the Folder settings and then scrolling down until you find the Lock sub-folders setting.Google Drive is an efficient way to collaborate on Docs, Sheets, and other file types with your colleagues, but it often leaves you exposed in terms of security. Using the folder structure lock feature would apply to all users. If you want to reset the lock, select the option "Allow users to create, rename, and delete any folders in this folder" and click on Save lock Settings. Lock this folder's existence only, but not any folders inside it.Lock structure of folders in this folder but not in their children.Lock structure of folders in this folder and also in their children.Lock Subfolders folder setting has the following options to chose from as per your business need: Folders remain where they are, named as they are, including all subfolders. While file operations can continue as normal: creating, moving, renaming, or deleting any folders and subfolders will be prevented. These options gives you the flexibility to lock some portions of your folder tree while leaving other portions unlocked. You can use the Lock Subfolders folder setting to lock the folder structure from the present folder down through all subfolders depends on the option you chose.
Logging and interface flexibility make those mishaps easy to correct, but when you have a team relying on the integrity of your folder structure, you can take it a step further. With many available interfaces and with drag and drop convenience, it's possible that one of your users may inadvertently move a folder, drop it into another folder, or otherwise alter your file structure from what your workflow or team requires.
