Make Uploaded Files Private Setting Explanation

[rod]

Hey guys,

What does the Make uploaded files private setting do?

How are user's files set to private and how would a user manage them?

Thanks.

It basically ensures that images hosted within the forum can't be hotlinked outside of it; you'd have to be logged in to be able to see the file.

@Bri Thank you for the information.

Is there a plan to add a file upload/download management component to NodeBB ? Many other forums have such a feature and I believe it would be valuable asset. Possibly one of the remaining features to round out NodeBB.

@rod Consider the asset manager? Let me know if it works out
