    Hi,

    Submitted files are available for anyone who have the link.

    Is there a way to secure files ?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best.

    Hi @mr-graphiste,

    Only admins of the website can see files submitted, so no worries about security, right?

    Hi,

    I modified the plugin code so the file can be downloaded in the Data tab.

    But when i copy & paste the url link it can be downloaded by everybody (folder uploads/cf7-database is a public URL)

    Can i change this ?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi @mr-graphiste ,

    You can set username/password for uploads/cf7-database folder so that only users with passwords can access the uploads.

    How you set the password depends on your VPS (apache or nginx) and you can search online for tutorial references on how to do this, for instance;

    https://www.tecmint.com/password-protect-web-directories-in-nginx/

    OR

    You can search for and try some plugins that might help, for instance:

    Thank you.

    Kind regards,
