I work in a nightclub where they have an in-house Virtual DJ Pro setup, there's more than one of us working there, and we often have guest DJs.
Generally, I would have a HDD plugged into a USB Hub (as do the other DJs/Guest DJs) and rather than plugging/unplugging the drive every hour when we swap over, is there a way the drive, or selected folders can be 'locked' or hidden upon maybe adding a short pin number or something, as I am often experiencing other DJs stealing my music by using the 'copy to' feature in the browser!!
Even a 'Hide Copy To/Move To' tick box (for both options) in the preferences could be useful?
A possible solution (forgive my lack of VDJ script knowledge or Virtual DJ development terminology) could be something that lives in the virtual dj folder in the root of the drive that houses the music collection/drive ID or whatever to check if the user logged in = me (on my laptop at home) then show copy to / move to = true else copy to / move to = false in the browser options..
This would also help to prevent any possible accidental deletion or sabotage if the 'delete' option was thrown in that feature too! (maybe have checkboxes in the options for each feature if possible)
I understand that other people copying tracks is not completely possible as you can simply use the operating system to copy stuff anyway, but by adding these preventative measures, it makes the whole process a lot more complicated to have someone copy/delete/move your stuff when working live..

I've worked in a club with a similar setup and honestly the simplest way is to unmount your drive at the end of your session, put it in your pocket then remount it when you need to go on again. Should all be seamless and won't affect anyone else working with VDJ.
I certainly wouldn't leave my collection live with other unknown people working on the same machine.
Wouldn't imagine any changes would be high priority for the devs as it's an individual's responsibility to look after their own data.

I second @kradcliffe's response...it's not Atomix responsibility to safeguard the security of your laptop and collection, that falls on you (that's a Security/Threat Modelling issue)
Disconnecting your drive when you're not playing or maybe even encrypting the collection location using a tool like cryptomator (locking it when you are not playing) are things you can use in your workflow to prevent this.
