How to password protect folders and open them in Windows Mac or Linux?
I know I could and should encrypt whole drives but I want another layer of protect specific folders when my devices are unlocked, a password. I want the folders to behave like regular folders where I can add or remove files as usual, without a clunky UX like password protected zips. I looked it up and didn't find any straightforward solutions.

I didn’t know there was a successor. Is it a spin off by some of the staff or created out of necessity by a new team.

It also doesn't use a giant blob of a single file like Veracrypt does so it can be used on cloud storage easily.
The more techy alternative that's harder to use is rclone mount + crypt.
