Add cloudflare access authentication to a specific folder.

Say I have the file explorer on storage.example.com and I want that to be public access but then I want a folder on R2 to be behind access in the file explorer. I tried adding a rule with the URL given when navigating to that folder but it didn't work. Any ideas?

Hey @SohamJa1n i think the best approach here is for you to have 2 different buckets, one for public and another for private use
Then have also 2 different R2 Explorer workers, one for public on assets.example.com and another one for private on storage.example.com, then enable cloudflare access only in the private one
After this in your private R2 Explorer worker you could have configured both buckets for you to be able to upload files into the public R2 Explorer
