vavoor Is it possible to secure uploading with a username/password only but allow read access to everybody?
This is a feature many are awaiting for, which I will start work on in a couple of weeks. Multi-user login with permissions, including non-login (guest) options.
In the meantime, you can solve this with a simple workaround of having two Files Gallery folders, both pointing to the same ROOT folder. One will be public, and one will have write/upload capabilities with login. See this post:
