Can Files Be Public

Yes! Files in Tadabase can be set as public, which means they're accessible via a direct URL that anyone with the link can open. This is great for things like product images, marketing assets, or downloadable resources you want to share openly.

If you'd rather restrict access, you can mark files as private instead. Private files are served via short-lived signed URLs, so links can't be passed around or accessed without authentication. This is the right choice for sensitive content like contracts, IDs, or member-only documents.

Public vs. private is configured on a per-field basis, so you have flexibility to mix and match within the same app — public images on one field, private documents on another.
