 * A nice plugin, I like it, even though the idea behind it is simple. On the other
   hand, the uploaded file which is extracted to a folder is subject to be viewed
   outside of the WordPress system.
 * In an elearning website, files should be protected whether or not it is paid 
   for, but in the case of this plugin, anyone gets the link to the direct files
   will be able to use them freely without any control.
 * Is there anything that enforces to use those files within the website only and
   under control of Sensie or Woocommerce?
 * Regards,

 * Hello SolutionsDEV,
 * We used to have built-in access restriction with this plugin, but it didn’t work
   well if your customers were trying to view content with the Articulate Mobile
   Player. That’s because the Articulate Mobile Player will only work behind Tin
   Can API private content authorization. For more information, see:
 * [https://articulate.com/support/article/cannot-access-content-error-when-launching-articulate-storyline-content-in-the-articulate-mobile-player](https://articulate.com/support/article/cannot-access-content-error-when-launching-articulate-storyline-content-in-the-articulate-mobile-player)
 * With that being said, there are several widely available plugins in the WordPress
   repo that will enable you to block direct access to the upload folder.
 * In the very near future, we’ll be implementing Tin Can support. It won’t support
   access restrictions at first, but it’s something we’re looking into.
 * Thanks,
 * Brian
