There are hooks for both the file upload location and the file permissions set on uploaded files.</p> <p>Here is documentation on the gform_upload_path hook:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_upload_path" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_upload_path</a></p> <p>Here is documentation on the gform_file_permission hook:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_file_permission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_file_permission</a></p> <p>Just keep in mind the tighter you lock down the file paths, that means they won't be accessible when linked from the notification emails and may not be accessible via the admin when you view the file from the entry detail. That is why currently they aren't locked down tight, it makes accessing them via the admin and email notifications difficult. To get to the files a person would need to guess the correct path and file name which is unlikely in most situations. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/privacy-of-uploaded-content#post-30374 Tue, 19 Jul 2011 03:03:30 +0000 Dag 30374@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,<br /> I'm concerned that anyone is able to access the uploaded data from Index of /wp-content/uploads/gravity_forms/example_folder?image.jpg<br /> How do i secure these folders so only certain people can access the data? Or change the upload to a more secure area or ideal just email the photos/audio on the upload rather than fill up our server.<br /> Thanks. </p>
