@sabman a much easier approach for folder encryption

sudo apt update 
sudo apt install gnome-encfs-manager

Steps for encryption

Create a directory for encryption in your drive partition
Open Gnome Ecfs Manager and add
Select directory/drive for encryption or import and mount to /home/
Enter a Super Strong Password and store that in bitwarden

Congratulate :medal_military: yourself for encrypting your folder(s) / drive :closed_lock_with_key: and saving the company
