I can use a direct url to access my file without login

Server

So the files are in data/username/files/ folder in my web server, which is an Ubuntu 16.04 server. If I put a direct ulr from web browser I can access the file even though I am not logged in to my server, I feel this is a configuration thing but I cannot find out why. E.g. I can use a url simiar to this to access the file from anywhere without logged into server, and the file is not shared:

https://example.com/data/username/file/abc.jpg

Thanks for your help!

I can access all files without login - why?

I don’t intent to add a link, just want to give an example, here is what the url I mentioned looks like:

h tt p:// mydomain.com/data/username/files/not_real_picture.jpg.

Thanks

I had moved the data directory out of my webroot like explained in ownCloud Documentation Overview to avoid that such server configuration problems are causing such issues for me.

Hi Tom, thank you very much, looks I need to reinstall my server. Will let you know if this works.
