Hello!
I have just installed Catalina. There are a lot of security warnings... and now I am wondering how to keep my passwords etc safe from applications that ask for access to all my folders. e.g. Adobe, Zoom and Teams Meetings want access to Documents and Downloads and Desktop. If they have access to all of these folders, where is it safe to keep sensitive information?
Does it work to make a new folder on the top level of the "users" (i.e. same level as Documents, Music, etc.) to put the stuff I want to secure there?
Would that cause any problems with the folder structure? I ask because I see all these warnings about not renaming or moving folders on that level. Can I add a new folder there?
Thank you!
