Yes, this is the limitation of the placing the files outside the public_html path, as then the files cannot be read

Hello,
is this limitation also valid when using version 2.1.5?
So I can't get the preview working if I save the files outside the public_html folder with an absolute path?

Hi, this is not limitation of Phoca Download - in case, the file is behind public_html, it cannot be displayed in internet.

But in version 2, the preview nad play folder is on other place than download, so in fact there is no more such limitation.

Thank you for the quick answer.
So how I can get the Preview -button working if I save the files outside the public_html folder with an absolute path?
What should I write here:
Download Folder (Play, Preview) (where the default setting is "phocadownloadpap")?
It should be so that the files cannot be accessed through direct link.

Hi, see similar posts in the forum:

phocadownload folder is a folder for download - can be set outside the public_html (e.g. because of security)
phocadownoadpap folder is a folder for preview or play - preview and play cannot by used by files outside the public_html

so mostly e.g. if you have some file for download - e.g. PDF document, you will set:

full pdf in phocadownload folder
only e.g. table of contents of the pdf to preview of play.

To protect file for download but giving the possibilit to preview it.
