Has anyone tried a private image gallery? I would like to offer a customer an ability to upload images viewable only by the customer and admin. I guess its a custom module to view it and reuse the upload control to the private area but perhaps someone has already done it. 

Unfortunately role based security s not good enough in my case. I'm building a site for a digital business: customers would upload assets into their own areas/folders that should be editable and viewable by customers and staff of the site. I would not want users in the role of customer to browse other customers folders.

Hence I'm thinking that as a part of the store checkout flow, after payment I would send customers to a final page where they can upload their assets. This would require a custom table linking folder location to a customer + module to view it + reuse the upload module to save files into "private area". Does this make sense to you Joe?
