Audit File Security & Shortlist a Downloads App
Have Sidekick audit the files actually sitting in Settings > Files for public exposure and clutter, then shortlist a digital-downloads app for anything it can't protect natively.
📋 Prompt
Help me clean up file handling on my Shopify store: Store Context: Do you sell digital products: [YES/NO] Do you share files with customers post-purchase: [YES/NO, e.g., manuals, warranties] Types of files handled: [LIST, e.g., images, PDFs, ZIP archives, design files] What Sidekick can check directly in my store’s Settings > Files: List every file currently uploaded, with upload date and file type Flag files that look unused or outdated (no longer referenced anywhere I can point to) so I can confirm before deleting Flag any file whose public URL looks like it shouldn’t be publicly discoverable (e.g., internal docs, unreleased product assets) Suggest a naming convention going forward based on the file types I listed above What native Shopify Files can’t do, so Sidekick will scope this out honestly: Time-limited or download-attempt-limited links, watermarking, and malware scanning aren’t features of Settings > Files — they require a digital-downloads app What Sidekick can research instead: Shortlist digital-downloads apps in the Shopify App Store that add expiring links, download limits, and watermarking, with a feature/price comparison for budget [BUDGET, e.g., $0-30/month] Custom upload forms, malware scanning, and internal document version control are outside Settings > Files entirely — those need a dedicated app or process I’ll set up myself.
