Please do not downvote as this question does not have tried code. I am new to programming.

So far have a built a big project on local machine. It will automate business workings. However now issue is, while deploying the app to server, Media files are not protected. I mean how to allow media files to be downloaded by logged in users only. As of now anyone with a link can download the file.

In short question is:

How to allow media files (user uploaded files) to be downloaded only by logged in users in NGINX?

Google is not of much help here, need a working example with code. The question is not duplication of How do you Require Login for Media Files in Django I have asked for a working example. If someone can give a working example of django-sendfile that will be great too.

Could be but as I said have no coded solution. Please provide a coded solution. – Pulkit Sharma Nov 23 '16 at 07:42
If you look at the first answer to the duplicate it has a link to a snippet that has the code you need. – Antonis Christofides Nov 23 '16 at 07:44
That does not solve the issue. Need a solution showing, what needs to be configured at NGINX setting, Media link and Django view. – Pulkit Sharma Nov 23 '16 at 07:53
