Well, behind a password and encrypted would be a good start.
If you hit power before putting it down, it locks immediately.
You're basically saying you do unsafe things and want Google to try and cover for you?
Google Drive - Why can you still not password protect folders/documents?

They support it but it's a feature of workspace accounts (ie. business). You can set this up as an individual if you're happy with the annual cost.
Google Docs Encrypted Files
OneDrive gives you an encrypted folder for free, but really the problem of securely storing passwords is a long solved problem and you should use the right tool for the job and not a plain document stored in the cloud.

No, it's me saying I'm at a life/risk balance that I'm basically happy with, but if there was an easy way to improve it (ie: password protect a google folder) that would be nice.
Everything we do is a life/risk balance. ie: Your car fob is not secure, but do you employ a steering lock on your drive? Do you take a wheel off your car overnight? No? Even when those would help with "unsafe things" that obviously reduce the risk of your car being stolen? Because you've quite rightly assessed your life risk balance and come to your happy level - You lock your car, and put your keys in a locked house.
But joking aside, I'll look at 3rd party password apps, but from the couple I've seen they don't seem as friendly/versatile as simply my folder structure on Google Drive. I'll keep looking

Why would you need to do that? It's already protected.
Why is your phone banking app (along with others) asking you for authentication when opening? Simple additional level of security.

You don't need any more security if it's protected with 2FA + password.
And yet many apps on your phone for example don't agree, and require authentication to access them.
BTW - I looked up the "vault warden" you suggested and couldn't find it

Yes, and I feel like you've decided what to use for this purpose, then moan they haven't added other features for your use case... which isn't the use case it was intended for.
"I can't believe my car will sink if I try and drive to France?! Why haven't BMW addressed this still!?"
I think you want a whine rather than just a conversation?
I looked up "Vault Warden" on Android... And nothing came up called "Vault Warden"... So...?Looked up where? You didn't look very far did you?

You still use bitwarden as the client to connect to vaultwarden.
Sorry should have said.
Vaultwarden is the open source version of bitwarden and if you self host it all features are pro and free.
Where as BitWarden is hosted in the cloud and features pro are paid per year. .

Erm... okay...?
I'm just stating my view on your position. You're using something for a different case than it's intended and whining they aren't accommodating your use case.
But sure, I'm whining about it. (Tbf, no, I'm not looking for a conversation)

^ Ta! Will have a play
Yeh you do that, nothing stopping you. Just to let you know if you deploy it right you get a back end control panel and can add multiple users.
If you get stuck just give a shout out in here and someone may come.
