Why bother with folder locking on a Mac when you can just hide your files in plain sight by renaming them with boring names like taxes or work stuff? Its like a secret code for your own eyes only!

Hiding files in plain sight might work until someone decides to snoop around or accidentally stumble upon them. Folder locking adds an extra layer of security thats worth considering.

Locking folders on a Mac is pointless. If someone wants to access your files, theyll find a way. Better to focus on strong passwords and encryption. Folder locking is just a false sense of security.

False sense of security? Strong passwords and encryption can be bypassed too. Layered security is key. Locking folders adds an extra hurdle for intruders. Its not pointless, just another layer of defense.

Why bother with folder locks on a Mac when you can just encrypt the entire drive? Seems like a lot of hassle for minimal security. Plus, who even uses folders nowadays? #JustEncryptEverything

Folders are still relevant for organizing files efficiently, not everything needs full drive encryption. Folder locks offer targeted security without the hassle of encrypting everything. #EfficiencyMatters
