Protects uploaded files so they can only be viewed by logged-in users
This plugin does not work with the media library. It only protects files uploaded through the plugin itself.
Requires a web server that supports .htaccess files for access control, such as Apache on Linux. Please note that even Apache on Linux
disables .htaccess files in newer versions in some configurations, so please check to make sure your files aren’t publicly accessible.
You can test that your files are protected by using the wp-content/uploads/ path or
by using the “Test link security” link on the “List all protected uploads” page. You should receive a 403 Forbidden error
if it’s working correctly.
This plugin does not collect any private data itself though it’s possible logged-in users may upload private data to your website using this plugin.
PRO SUPPORT
While we attempt to provide basic support for this plugin here on the WordPress.org forums, for advanced or priority support please use the pro version.
The pro version also adds per user role file permissions, so, for instance, you can have a file that’s only accessible to a premium role, while not accessible to a basic role.
