 * Hi,
 * When I add a digital product (image with code aka gift voucher), the folder to
   where that image goes is public.
    I mean, if we put the url to that image onto
   a browser it can be viewed.
 * Any way to secure that?
 * Thanks

 * H [@carloslwnt29](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carloslwnt29/),
 * There’s a few things you can do to make sure that URL is secure:
 * – make sure to upload your image from this setting below, and not by adding it
   to the Media Library first then selecting the file. This will put the upload 
   in a special folder that blocks outside access directly- `wp-content/uploads/
   woocommerce_uploads`
 * ⌊https://d.pr/i/we3DbS⌉⌊https://d.pr/i/we3DbS⌉
    Link to image: [https://d.pr/i/we3DbS](https://d.pr/i/we3DbS)
 * – require that the user be logged in to download by going to WooCommerce > Settings
   > Products > Downloadable products and enable the Downloads require login.
 * Another option is to use a plugin such as [Amazon S3 Storage](https://woocommerce.com/products/amazon-s3-storage/)
 * Hope that helps!

 * Yes, I had it configured as you suggested. Still, if we have the url it can be
   easily retrieved on any browser without loggin in

   mentioned, here is an old, but still relevant workaround to this – [https://jilt.com/blog/how-to-create-woocommerce-secure-downloads/](https://jilt.com/blog/how-to-create-woocommerce-secure-downloads/)

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
