Sorry I wasn't being very clear.
I was talking about the linked Dropbox folder in your Windows Explorer (PC) or Finder (Mac). Whatever you have in there syncs to your cloud Dropbox (essentially dropbox.com, Dropbox's server) in which you can access from anywhere in the world through any computer/tablet/smartphone.
I always have people over and always using my computer almost everyday. I would like that linked folder locked.
Like I said earlier, I did find a way to lock it but only when it is converted into a Disk Image (dmg file). When that dmg file is synced through the cloud Dropbox, it is unusable when I access that file through dropbox.com in someone else's PC. I can however, use that dmg file through any mac (and only mac) in the world BUT, I have to download the entire folder (20+ GBs).
Here is a link to a Mac Forum to that exact problem but it is outdated. You can see my same post as well.
