File Upload element - Access element

[RegistroItaliano]

I created a list with some uploaded files.
I tried to set Access element, but if one has the link to the file even if he is not logged in he can still give the file.
How do I limit viewing to only some users?

Thread moved to Community Help.

What did you set exactly in the Fileupload?
What is your Access element?

You may have to protect the folder with the file(s) from external access via .htaccess so the files are only accessible via the download.

Access element makes me select only elements from the list, I don't understand how it should be configured correctly.

If your problem is really, that anybody who has the link can access the files, you need to do what @troester said: create a .htaccess file in the root of your upload/download folder with following content:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all

Then only access through joomla/fabrik is allowed and a file link will not work

setting .htaccess as you indicated

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all

it doesn't let me open the files even if I'm logged in to Joomla/fabrik though

I have to admit: this solution worked for me on an old J3/F3 site, BUT I used some pre-filters and not an access element ....

This is correct. You only can access the files via the download link

However, I would like it to be shown if one is logged in, but not show it if one has the link but is not logged in

To be honest: I don't understand. Probably you explain your problem with some screenshots.
