    Hello. I looked at the patch and it has "'system/files" hardcoded as the base path for private files. I made a MR that should cover the private scheme as well as the public scheme.

    Please take a look, see if it works for you, and let me know what you think.

    Hi,

    Hello. I looked at the patch and it has "'system/files" hardcoded as the base path for private files. I made a MR that should cover the private scheme as well as the public scheme.

    The reason for the hardcoded string is the route for private files. Private files are served by the route "system.private_file_download" and not the path of the file itself. PrivateStream::basePath() returns "Settings::get('file_private_path')" which is not accessible over the web server.

    * A local file system path where private files will be stored. This directory
    * must be absolute, outside of the Drupal installation directory and not
    * accessible over the web.
