Site Factory supports the use of private files with its hosted websites.
From the File module
overview
page on Drupal.org, unlike public files (which can be directly
accessed and downloaded if their URLs are known), private files are
not directly accessible through the web server. Instead of accessing
private files using URLs, links require the use of Drupal path requests.
For example, a private file could be accessible at
/system/files/name-of-the-file.pdf, but in this case
/system/files/ is not an actual folder, but is instead a virtual URL
managed by Drupal.
The private files directory for newly-created websites is set to the
following directory outside of the docroot directory:
If you need to use private files, having your website’s modules or
content types use files from or write files to this directory will
ensure that the files will be included whenever the website is
duplicated or backed up.
Note
If you store files in private files directories other than the default
private files directory, those files in those directories will not be
included in website backups or duplications.
