Gold Star Pro now offers enhanced options for securely storing and managing both private and public files in Media Storage. With the new private file upload feature, you can manage sensitive data more safely than ever, keeping private files secure and accessible only when needed. Here’s a detailed look at how to use this new feature.

Key Features of Private File Support

1. Private File Uploads

  • Upload files as private to ensure they remain secure and are not accessible to others without specific permissions.

  • Private files are identified by a lock icon on their thumbnail, making it easy to distinguish them from public files.

  • Access private files with two main options:

    • Download: Download the file directly to your device.

    • Copy Private Link: Copy a temporary link to share the file securely. Private links are active for 10 minutes only, enhancing data security.

2. File Deletion

  • Users can delete private files or folders as needed, helping you maintain control over sensitive information.

Navigating Media Storage Modes

Gold Star Pro offers multiple media storage modes, providing options for managing different types of files efficiently. Here’s how to navigate these modes:

  • All: Shows both public and private files for full visibility.

  • Public: Displays only public files, ensuring that private files remain hidden.

  • Private: Access only private files here, with options to download or copy a private link when needed.

Each mode allows you to easily find and manage files according to their designated access levels.

Upcoming Enhancements

Gold Star Pro plans to roll out additional features for even greater file management flexibility:

  • Custom Link Expiry: Soon, you’ll be able to set custom expiration times for private links directly from the user interface, giving you more control over how long shared links remain active.

  • File Status Conversion: You’ll soon have the ability to convert files between private and public statuses, offering more flexibility in how files are stored and shared.

Summary of Key Actions for Using Private File Support

  • Upload as Private: Choose this option to keep sensitive files secure.

  • Identify with Lock Icon: Easily distinguish private files in storage.

  • Use Temporary Links: Share files with a link that expires in 10 minutes for added security.
