I am looking for a solution that will enable me to protect a media library folder so that it is not accessible from the website, only from the back office.
I have looked at media protect but that doesn't quite do what I want as it requires membership and implementation of a login page, neither are things that the site has currently and access to the document storage is handled by Umbraco User Accounts and not Members (Document access is via the back office).
In the end, I managed to configure MediaProtect to point the login page at the home page and setting up a faux login, allowing me to achieve what I wanted without having to add any more code.
Either of these solutions could fit here - Depending on whether time or cost are the key priorities (High5 to Jan).
Hide Media Library Folder from the outside world

Can anyone point me in the right direction here?
Hi Keith
To me it sounds like you're more after a code-based solution? Perhaps this article by Paul Seal can help you? https://codeshare.co.uk/blog/how-to-protect-media-items-in-umbraco/

That looks like a good option - I'll investigate.
Nice article!
