I know I could and should encrypt whole drives but I want another layer of protect specific folders when my devices are unlocked, a password. I want the folders to behave like regular folders where I can add or remove files as usual, without a clunky UX like password protected zips. I looked it up and didn't find any straightforward solutions.

I suppose the truecrypt successor veracrypt would work well for this, it is available on all 3 platforms which probably makes it stand out from most other solutions.

TrueType was great for this. They just shut down one day. It sucked but luckily all their tools came in one downloaded application.
I didn’t know there was a successor. Is it a spin off by some of the staff or created out of necessity by a new team.

Cryptomator is the easiest to use option IMO, and it supports windows, linux, macos, android, and ios.
It also doesn't use a giant blob of a single file like Veracrypt does so it can be used on cloud storage easily.
The more techy alternative that's harder to use is rclone mount + crypt.

Agreed, Cryptomator is what you are looking for

Gocryptfs or CryFS. Many GUI available (Vaults, SiriKali, Plasma Vaults). Android compatibility with DroidFS.

I have a separate encrypted partition that I can mount/decrypt/unmount with my filemanager (or something like pmount) by clicking on those little arrows. Much nicer than whatever on-top-of-the-filesystem solution I used previously. It happens to be on a microSDcard that just sits in its slot forever.
