Setting up 300 folders with unique permissions - Best Approach?

What would be the best approach to setting up 300 folders with different names and each folder has unique permissions?   - 300 folders with unique names - permissions inheritance needs to be broke...

    PowerShell is going to be the best most reliable route.  I'm assuming you're creating the folders to secure information and then using Metadata in the views/search?

To secure...but really to make the UI easier for the end users. So they only see their folder. Not setting any metadata...would like to though. currently, the library is set up with a one metadata field. it is using a look column. is that accessible to configure in PowerShell?

Yes you can use PowerShell to do any list/library manipulation.  Here is a good resource.
