Thank you, exactly what I was looking for. Still some of the files end
up there, but maybe it's because they have already been ”logged”, so
maybe I need to restart the system or something.

One thing I am wondering is: Let's say that I add the folder
/home/MyUserName/MyFolder/Private, what about its sub folders then?
For example the file
/home/MyUserName/MyFolder/Private/MySecretFolder/MyEvenMoreSecretDocument,
will it be ”protected” in this case?
