Public / premium file flags
Public = outsider access; Premium = paid-tier download gate for non-owners. New-upload defaults from site toggles.
Public / premium file flags
Control who can open and download each file.
Where to find it
/my-files - row toggles, Edit modal, and bulk actions
How it works
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Public | Others can open the download link (required for link-only copy) |
| Premium | Non-owners need Premium / Premium Pro; owner always bypasses |
Change via table toggle, Edit modal, or bulk (Set to public/private, Set to premium/non-premium; files only). New uploads follow Files public by default (default on) and Files premium by default (default off).
Admin per-user overrides can freeze both flags ("set by an administrator..."). Premium does not make a private file public. Flags do not waive size/bandwidth limits or remove passwords.
Common problems
Private but shared the link
Owner-only - others cannot download.
Premium does not replace Public
A private premium file is still private.
