File Manager for Private Files
Permalink
This is probably a really dumb question, and I'm embarrassed to ask it...
I'd like to create a form that lets users upload files. The nicest interface is that which uses the File Manager, which allows users to drag-and-drop (or anything else). However, by default, this seems to expose all of the site's publicly-visible images, whereas I want each user to be able to upload and manage a small pool of their own images and not see any other images in the File Manager.
I've experimented with file sets and file folders, but the File Manager still seems to display everything when called from the form.
Is there an easy way to customise the form and/or File Manager and/or permissions so that each user only gets to deal with their own images?
TIA!

Ta Pine. After actually reading the documentation properly, I might have found what I want: 'File Uploader Access Entity', at

It's been tricky to find the right combination of permissions that avoids UI hangs and errors, but I think I'm getting close.

That's the only addon that I know of that does anything close to what you're looking for. Hope this helps.
