how could upload files only download available for authenticated users ?

I'm going to develop a simple document managment website.

Registered users are allowed to upload and download on their own files.

How could I protected those files indexed from search engine.

Files download should be available for authenticated logon user.

Other ppl, (even you copied the file's download url) could not able to download the files from the link (shared) directly, and it will redirect to a user login form.

pw 2.6.x has been released a while, any such a feature for private and public file ?

A starting point maybe?

Search engines are quite dump machines, if they cannot find a link to one of the files, they won't index them. As those bots are naturally unauthenticated, they should only see the login page. If you want to access control not only the page, where the link will be shown, but also the direct link to the files, then $config->pagefileSecure is the keyword.
