<h3>Access to "personal" files</h3>
In Chamilo 1.*, it is possible to upload files to one's "personal" folder
through the social network page, or through any upload popup that allows
you to choose the file destination (and you select your personal folder).<br />
<br />
Due to the development background in Chamilo, these files are then directly
accessible by anonymous users, which can lead to personal data leaks. This
has been left in this mode by default because many teacher users had used
this option to share common images between different courses and blocking
the feature would have meant public courses would not have shown the given
images.<br />
<br />
To avoid this issue and make files accessible *only* to authenticated users,
please set the following option to 'true' in configuration.php:<br />
<br />
<pre>
$_configuration['block_my_files_access'] = true;</pre>
This will prevent anonymous access, but will not prevent access from other
authenticated users.
