Hey everyone, I'm trying to set up password protection on a folder inside my SD card on Linux Zorin 16 running on a HP Stream. The internal storage is limited and not upgradable, so I've connected an SD card with a folder that needs protection. I'm searching for ways to do this using the terminal but don't know where to begin. Any suggestions would be really helpful!

I haven't tried Veracrypt myself. What do you think about it?

Generally, gcrpcf is a solid choice. It also offers GUI alternatives, such as Sirikali.
