Description
In one of my tests I simply lock a folder and do stuff, but I never set it as encrypted.
Though this does not help security wise, server should only allow any e2e operation on a folder that is marked as encrypted.

Research direction
Start by locating the server API endpoint that handles end-to-end operations on folders, then reproduce the described test with a locked folder that is not marked encrypted. Done means every end-to-end operation is rejected unless the folder is marked as encrypted, while encrypted folders continue to work.
