title: Strapi / Node.js private user uploads
body: <p>What strategies/implementations can be used to allow users to upload private files such as images? At present, the strapi upload plugin does nothing more than upload content to the public/uploads folder, which is accessible to everyone.</p>
  <p>I have done a lot of research, but unfortunately I did not find anything. Does anyone have an idea how to call the upload plugin server-side from other controllers/plugins? Would be also nice to know if the file path could be specified dynamically.</p>
  <p>The solutions above creating private files api endpoint must not really depend on strapi. It could also be some ideas using node.js (and koa/express.js etc.). Would be nice if someone can give me some keywords or known approaches handling this kind of problems!</p>
