Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

• Anonymous user can download images in public rooms.

What is the root cause of that problem?

• We allow annonymous user to download image.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

• We have a function fileDownload used to handle download action in entire the app.
  

  App/src/libs/fileDownload/index.js

  Line 10 in d53a03e

  export default function fileDownload(url, fileName) {

• So we should add the logic check isAnonymousAction to this.

What alternative solutions did you explore? (Optional)

• NA
