Private file uploads and remove date folder requirement

[that0n3guy]

Couldn't this be added into a config file, possibly in upload_folder_public_path?

I don't think it should be hard coded.

@andrewelkins what do you think about these changes?

As I look more and more at this package... I have a question..

Why specify 2 paths:

'upload_folder' => 'public/cabinet/uploads/',
'upload_folder_public_path' => 'cabinet/uploads/',

Shouldn't this be simplified and use one path?

[andrewelkins]

On upload vs public path. They are used in different spots. the folder is the pull path, whereas the public path is off of the web root.

Why did you remove the date folder path?

[that0n3guy]

It seemed odd to hard code it.

[andrewelkins]

The date folder path prevents making a single folder gigantic. Years ago it was done this way to prevent exhausting the file count limit within a folder. Now it just prevents a folder becoming so huge that it's nearly impossible to do anything useful in. eg. ls taking minutes or doing a grep/find

I was actually pleasantly surprised that Cabinet creates date directory path.
It wasn't mentioned anywhere 👍

Thanks @olso
