Hi,
Is there a way to provide a “somehow protected*” download-link to a High-res-file through my Backlight Site?
- Not to easy to access e.g. by only surfing to my domain - but not password protected - only individual link
Thanks for any advice.
The downloads set up in the album template are accessible to anyone that can access the album.
The only way to provide a high-res download via a private link is to use the Cart. Your visitor could “purchase” the image (use the Invoiced checkout method) and would receive a download link. But you would then need to mark the order as paid. You do this in the Backlight Cart admin area.
Ok, thanks Rod… its is not what I was looking for. I also thought about a password protected album… but also to complicated to do that for each image (my plan would be to offer the high-res download for NFT buyers.
might be a way to do that on an image by image basis using WordPress or other platform. But it would need to be separate from Backlight.
I was wondering how long it would take for someone to say “NFT” here … 
I had to look it up 
If anyone would like to purchase an NFT for my message above – or for this reply – please contact me directly.

@Matthew Who knows what will remain after the bubble burst, the idea is to good to disappear completely but to strange to remain at it is.
regarding to the topic… I decided to just put zipped files in a folder on the server and go for it. I had the idea to put a password on the zip-file before… but I decided that this would over-complicate things for now.
