I want to protect my gallery images. Then, I disabled download possibilities in each event.
I have notice that access is possible trought the url similar to:
index.php?option=com_eventgallery&Itemid=236&file=DSC_XXX.jpg&folder=xxxfolder&lang=es&view=download

I have seen this thanks to SH404SEF. When I check urlsef generated, I found many url like this coverted to friendly url.
WHY it is possible this "view=download"?

Hi,

Do you have any other social sharing options enabled?

If the event is just protected by a password, only the download of the largest thumbnail is allowed. You're right, if one knows the name of the folder and the file, he can see the image. That is actually the same behavior as it works for Google Photos. If you use a protection by user group the download link will never work.

Since I don't see a reason why I made a difference between password and user group protected event, I'll change that behavior.
