 * Hi! Snazzy plugin and for free, that’s wild!
 * I do have a question about security and maybe it’s not relevant to the plugin,
   but I figured I’d ask just in case.
 * Is there anyway to secure the files that are uploaded to the site? Meaning if
   someone were to stumble upon a url of the document and they are not signed into
   the website or had the appropriate permissions, that it would tell them they 
   couldn’t view it?

 * If you want to use the FlightBox to display images and videos in a modal window,
   no. Otherwise, you have to enable encrypted downloads in your shortcode then 
   you can add a .htaccess to all your folders with a deny from all command.

 * Gotcha!
 * Sounds like for any new subdirectories that are created, I’ll need to manually
   add in the htaccess file each time, right?

 * Yes. File Away doesn’t do this for you at this time.
