Hi All Can anyone suggest/recommend a module to handle users uploading files where only the uploading user can view/link to/access the file?
Kind of like a private upload/file store system. The site will require public download method, except for these files. I've looked at IMCE but it doesn't appear to prevent hotlinking. I've looked at private_upload and private_download. I'm really looking for the private download/upload features of private_upload with the 'each user has a personal file collection' features of IMCE. I also like the idea of combining the token aspect of uploadpath to force files into a directory per user and then replicate the .htaccess based access permission checking of private_upload (forces redirect to replicate private download method). To complicate this further I need to allow anonymous users to upload files (temporarily of course) but each anonymous user cannot see the other. To retain the files, the user would need to register/sign in but not requiring this upfront show lower the barriers to using the site. Again I'm leaning towards forcing files into a folder per session id with access controls via .htaccess. To further complicate things, files will not be attached to a node - but it is fine if they are attached to a user. Any comments or advice would be greatly appreciated. Lee Rowlands
