My first thought is that you probably have to write your own middleware that is run before the media-file is accessed, so that you can deny responses where the user is not logged in.
But if there is simpler solution, I would be glad to hear about it :-)
Require login to view PDF / media folder
Hi all,
I'm running version 9.5.0
I have uploaded some PDF files to
domain.com/media/random_folder/readme.pdfand I would like hide this file/folder behind a login.I have multiple PDF files uploaded in various media folders that I would like to hide behind a login.
It can be ANY login, it doesn't have to be a Umbraco user. Just any "hardcoded" username and login.
How can I achieve this? Does Umbraco version 9.5.0 provide any kind of locked folder feature?

I've used the Media Protect package on a client's site in the past and it worked nicely.

Note: the package does require a license.
