As the file storage package is a package, you could mount it outside the community again (open URL), give the community permissions on the package and the public read on the folder. So much for the theory 😊.

Hi Malte,

Thanks for the help. So, how is this url permission done? Does it have anything to do with the request processor implementation for dotLRN? As the problem is getting much bigger than I tought, maybe I'll follow your suggestion and mount a file-storage folder wich will be public for everybody.

Well, the request processor does check to see that the user has the 'read' privilege on the package.

This is correct and you shouldn't even think about changing this.
