You can password protect the directory on your server, but Chrome sometimes has issues with that. Alternatively, you can use File Away’s encryption, so users can’t see where the files are located, and then just passeord protect the pages where the File Away shortcodes are posted.
Thanks.
Not exactly sure by what you mean “Chrome sometimes has issues with that”. Does that mean that using Chrome, the user can circumvent the password, or is it simply that he will not have access to the files in chrome ?
Also, do you know please if there is an ability to set multiple passwords to access the same file directory ? Such that each person can receive a different personal password to access his or her files ?
Thanks,

Chrome sometimes has issues downloading a file from a password protected server directory. Opening the files in a new window always works with chrome though. You’d have to experiment to see. It’s a cache issue I believe.
Yes, you can set multiple passwords for a directory, I believe. You’d do that on your cpanel, or talk to your webhost about that.
