Open dialog that asks user where they'd like to save file

    First, I’d like to thank you for the awesome plugin!! There’s just one issue I’ve noticed so far, but it is kind of a big one..

    I noticed that currently, after a user shares, the file opens in the browser (I’ve only tried pics and songs) and the URL is the file’s path in WP. This allows users to copy that URL and, for example, send it to people who can then download the file without sharing. But the plugin claims that there’s no way that users can download the hidden content without sharing..

    In my opinion, the ideal flow will be: after the user shares, a dialog opens up asking the user where on their computer they’d like to save the file. This would not reveal the URL of the file’s location to the user.

    Can this be done somehow with the current version of your plugin?

    With some research, I found that adding these lines (not sure if both statements are necessary) to my .htaccess file solved the problem. Back to what I was saying, thanks for the awesome plugin! ??

    AddType application/octet-stream .mp3
    <FilesMatch “\.(mp3)$” >
    ForceType application/octet-stream
    Header add Content-Disposition “attachment”
    </FilesMatch>
