Could you explain what you mean with steal accounts? And about the other point (upload): Isn't there a way to make it so only the people with the app can upload files? | |

| Feb 24, 2015 at 7:04 | comment | added | Marshall | Thanks guys. My hosting service wants an extra fee (outside my budget) for SSL. Therefore the HTTP seems like a good solution. What are the security concerns if I make it HTP based upload? | |
