If ES is configured to offload files to Amazon S3, what happens to files that members select for private viewing?

I believe anyone that views it have the direct URL to repost or share with others outside the permitted setting.

Is that correct?
Hello Peter,

Yes, if they can figure out the URL they will be able to view it but I doubt anyone can really decrypt it because it's close to impossible to predict the file names which is hashed.

It seems there are some restrictions in flickr that does not allow the full path to be easily revealed so you can't simply cut/paste to share.

Does ES have this type of option?

Hello Peter,

The file names in EasySocial is hashed so unless you have a brute force on file naming, it would almost be impossible to crack it
