How to make file private?

Publitio

To make file private, navigate to https://publit.io/dashboard/files page:

  • Locate your file and click on far right Edit icon.
  • Turn OFF Switch button "Set files privacy to Public" and click on Update to change file privacy.

Please note: private files require access tokens for access - they are always present and generated on file URLs within Dashboard and API - but they expire after 24h. So you need to update them on your pages if you hardcode urls. (use SDK or Plugin to auto-generate fresh urls for each new visitor)

    Can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by "private".  Does this mean that only people who have access tokens can view the file via URL links?

    If I want to embed a video on my Wordpress site where only signed in members can see the page, should I make the Publito file public so they can access it without an access code?

    Yes, only people with link & access token can view file.

    No, you can make files private and embed them on wordpress site, but use Publitio Plugin to embed player or source - as plugin will auto retrieve fresh access tokens for each new visit on your pages

    hope this helps
