Help! Secure folder structure?

[i_have_questions]

Would it cause any problems with the folder structure, to add a new folder to top level of the "users" (i.e. same level as Documents, Music, etc.)?

I want to secure some files outside of the access areas (Downloads, Desktop, Documents) that Zoom, Teams and Adobe use - but I see warnings about not renaming or moving folders on that level.

Is it OK to add folders to the same level where Music, Documents etc. are kept?

(Reposting my question because I couldn't find any info here or through Google search, and didn't have any replies.)

Yes, that is your home folder and you can add whatever you want there. Note that new folders have default permissions that allow everyone to read it, so change them if you don’t want that.

Just highlight the folder you want to encrypt by doing command button+i at the same time while you are highlight that folder! A pop up will come on to give the password for that you won’t forget!
