hello,
1.)
where/which directory is best for keeping media files on hosting
inside or outside of public_html ?
or specific folder of eMember ?
or specific folder of eStore ?
such as downloadable files, images, videos, restricted contents
for safely protected from non-member to display/directly url download when using eMember/eStore
2.) Where to keep files such as Free Contents for eMember/eStore ?
The reason for asking this,
I wish to create well-organised backend.
Thank you
ASP
If you are using eStore then you can put your files outside of the web document root (public_html) directory. The following post is a good read for you:

You can also use emember’s download directory protection option. See the 2nd option from the following documentation:
Another really good alternative is to keep them on Amazon S3, and use eStore to access them.
- The dirst year is free.
- Most users report a monthly cost of less than 15 cents.
- It makes the download process more reliable.
- Using Amazon S3 lessens your server’s bandwidth usage.
- Netflix also uses Amazon.
If you are going to host the files on your server, do not place them in your plugin directories; or your may accidentally overwrite them, the next time you upgrade the plugin.
Here is some other “tips” on this subject.
