Secure Vault Folder with Separate Password (like Dropbox Vault)

[duartes1005]

Hi everyone,
I’d love to suggest a new feature for Nextcloud: a Vault-style folder that requires an extra password or 2FA to access—even when the user is already logged in. This would be perfect for storing sensitive documents like IDs, contracts, or credentials, adding an extra layer of protection if a session is compromised or a device is left unlocked.
Key Features - a special folder (e.g., /Vault) that:
Requires a separate password or PIN to open
Optionally supports 2FA or biometric unlock (on mobile)
Auto-locks after inactivity or logout
Fully integrated into the web UI and mobile apps
Optional encryption at rest (beyond standard E2EE)
Admin controls: enable/disable Vault per user/group
Access logs for Vault activity (open/close attempts)
Selective sync: allow Vault to be excluded from mobile sync
Offline protection: block access to Vault without server authentication
Thanks.
