Might be a good use case for Anubis, in addition to the URLParam passwords mentioned elsewhere. Enough protection to prevent trivial brute force scraping, while also being basically invisible to users.
So what you're basically saying is to add a secret key to the shared link itself, so the user doesn’t have to do anything extra, but their privacy is protected behind the scenes. I looked into it and just added a 6-character access key for every Zync(shared link), plus basic rate limiting to stop mass scraping. It’s invisible to users but blocks most common abuse. Will keep improving it based on all your feedback appreciate it a lot!
