Best Answer

Google doesn't give this feature directly but there are apps such as Innovode Armor that can password protect files and documents. Alternatively to password protect a google spreadsheet you can use google scripts.

Using scripting there are two options - encrypt and decrypt. You need to set a password first. Once you encrypt, all the text will be obfuscated and unreadable. To read it, you need to decrypt it again with the same password.

What is the difference between Google Docs and drive?

Microsoft Office is a robust set of products with powerful features. Google Docs is less robust and its features are less powerful. Google documents are stored on the internet and they are accessible from any computer with an internet connection. Microsoft Office files are normally on a computer. Microsoft Office is software that you have to pay for and install on your computer. Google Docs is free and your only requirement is to set up a Google account. If you have a Gmail account, then you have access to Google Docs and other Google products. While Microsoft Office is more powerful, unless you require manuscript-publishing features, pivot-table functions, a rich mix of media in your presentations or database tools, Google Docs may be useful enough. Google Docs is continually improving and adding features that you would find in Microsoft Office and other similar products. You can access the Microsoft Office site to learn more about its exact features, and you can read more about Google Docs, below.
