From everything that I searched through... it does not look like it's possible to lock something so that it doesn't get moved/dragged somewhere accidentally.  Is this on the horizon to be able to do?

Our company very much needs the option to lock a folder as well. I reviewed the link mentioned in the solution above and this does not work for our team. Our team needs to be able to move and delete sub folders however the main, top level folder needs to be locked so that it isn't accidentely moved somewhere else. Commenting here as another vote for this feature. Thank you!
