Curious, with this module do I need to have my images in Drupal's private file system path?

Use case:
I'm allowing my users to create a private album where they can share the pictures in their protected_node with the correct password.

Or is Drupal's private file system path for protecting against direct directory hacking? In which case I can understand wanting to keep using the private directory.

Thanks, and great module!

Hello,

There is a support for the private file system.

If you protect a node but the images or attachments are managed with the public file system. If a visitor has the URL he/she will be able to see it.

So you will still need to use the private file system.

Is it ok for you?

Yep. Just tested that and you are correct. If a person has the image URL they WILL be able to see the image. Regardless if I'm using protected_node. This is true even if it's an anonymous user. (This is if I use the Public file system.) Good to know!

Thanks!
