Hello again.
Im working hard on my Bubble app, what is it about videos, like YouTube, but i have a question.
I was wondering if i can put on the “Private Video” option, like a checkbox:
a Private Video would be for the current user to post a video but only the current user can see it.
I would be grateful if you could help me 
Under the video data type you could have a field called Private with the type yes/no
Then in the Privacy tab for that data type you could probably set up a rule so “If this video’s Private is yes and the video’s Creator = Current user”.
Hi jeffake,
I agree with tyler’s answer. I would also add that you can protect files by making them attached to the user. From (https://manual.bubble.io/help-guides/working-with-data/working-with-files):
You can, however, make a file private by checking the appropriate setting when uploading the file.
Then even if someone has a link to the file he won’t be able to access it unless it’s that user logged in.
I also personally developed a plugin that helps you develop platforms working with large files e.g. video sharing with some advanced features like time-limited access and saves you some money as Bubble storage is expensive so it uses Google Storage instead (Upload GCS AWS Wasabi + others Plugin | Bubble)

Hey aniv, thanks for the answer, but i doesn’t understand some things, you can take me a tutorial (precerence video) to me?
Hi jeffake,
In your File Uploader element (where the user will upload the video) there is a setting called “Make this file private” check that and also in Attach this file to write Current User

Along with @aniv what he has suggested,
put the privacy rules- uncheck the “view all fields” or video column. This way, you will protect the saved URL.
