Hey there, I like the management and uploading feature of this add-on - well done.
I have a quick question, though: Is it possible to restrict access to the public accessible files, so that only members to certain forums can access the files uploaded to topics in this forum?
At the moment even with individual folders, it seems the uploaded file is still public and can be accessed from anybody, who knows the link?!
Best, Chris
Try, tisable "Can view attached files" permission in Forum Accesses for certain Usergroups.

We did disable this for guest users. They still are able to see the file if they have the direct link to the file. 🙁
Could you please let me know how they have direct link if they can't see the file?
Uploads Folder is generally visible to anybody and might be known by hackers or other people. But I understand, that we should use probably other means to protect the folder.
