I have set up a public and a private file location (/admin/config/media/file-system). The private file location is not under the Drupal directory ( it's /opt/private_files ). I have set the "Default download method" to "Private local files served by Drupal."
I have configured a profile for IMCE ( /admin/config/media/imce ) called "User-1" with a "Directory Path" of {root}/. "Including subdirectories".
I have assigned this profile to the role "administrator" under "Role-profile assignments" for both "PUBLIC FILES" as well as "PRIVATE FILES".
But when I access IMCE directly using mydomain.com/imce I only see the private files.
How can I switch or access the public files ?
