Hello, for the sale of digital products and set product line: Digital Product URL so I indicate the url of the product line that I put in the root of my server into a specific folder. But I realized that it can be accessed online by anyone, at this file and the search engines will eventually find it and display it. How can I fix this ?
Hi Isabelle, The files you add to a folder in your server should be protected if set up correctly. Check the following post which will explain more:

Let us know if the above helps you.
Kind regards
eStore provides protection, by obfuscating (hiding) the location of files, via the use of encrypted download links; from the user. It does not prevent your files from being “discovered” by someone/something scanning your site.
The first defense, of course, is to ensure the “Downloadable” option, under “Digital Content Details” is selected for each of your products. This ensures users only receive encrypted download links.
The actual files being downloaded should be placed in a folder that is protected from being casually scanned. There are several ways to do this. Here are my *favorites*:

These results can also be achieved, by using our (free) All-In-One Security plugin:

You can also host the files on Amazon S3, and use eStore’s native Amazon S3 integration:
Using Amazon S3 provides 2 major benefits:
1. Your files receive the same protection used by Amazon and Netflix.
2. You lessen the bandwidth load on your server, because all the heavy lifting is being done by Amazon.
