<p>Protects uploaded files so they can only be viewed by logged-in users</p>
<p>This plugin does not work with the media library.   It only protects files uploaded through the plugin itself.</p>
<p>Requires a web server that supports .htaccess files for access control, such as Apache on Linux.  Please note that even Apache on Linux<br />
disables .htaccess files in newer versions in some configurations, so please check to make sure your files aren’t publicly accessible.<br />
You can test that your files are protected by using the wp-content/uploads/ path or<br />
            by using the “Test link security” link on the “List all protected uploads” page.  You should receive a 403 Forbidden error<br />
            if it’s working correctly.</p>
<p>This plugin does not collect any private data itself though it’s possible logged-in users may upload private data to your website using this plugin.</p>
<p>PRO SUPPORT<br />
While we attempt to provide basic support for this plugin here on the WordPress.org forums, for advanced or priority support please use the pro version.<br />
The <a href="https://www.mcmwebsite.com/mcm-protected-file-view-pro/" rel="nofollow ugc">pro version</a> also adds per user role file permissions, so, for instance, you can have a file that’s only accessible to a premium role, while not accessible to a basic role.</p>

WordPress File Monitor

Good plugin

Go and install it right away! You have no idea how much time you'd save by doing it NOW!

Best plugin to log, track, and monitor the file changes.

Background:

Earlier, I was using a plugin that contained file monitoring as one of the features. That plugin was heavily bloated with numerous other features that I wouldn't use. Have been looking for a dedicated plugin for files monitoring. This fits my use case perfectly. What's more the author of this plugin, @nicolly, is responsive on the support forum, even though he's not obliged to do so as this is a free plugin. Even my stupid feature request was accepted and fixed the underlying problem in my own workflow.

This is a gem. Currently, switching it in place of the other plugin on all my clients' sites!

Will save your precious time some day!

Does what it says :)
