Duplication of django-private-storage?

[vdboor]

Hi!

I just found this repository. I wonder, is there anything that was missing in your opinion from what https://github.com/edoburu/django-private-storage/ offers? It looks like our goals are pretty similar.

Best,
Diederik

I took a look - I'm not sure if I came across your library at the time or not, but I did come across django-storages and concluded that it was doing way too much for what I/we needed.

The goal for this library is to only support file system storage and be as minimal as possible, while being able to aggressively drop support for old/unmaintained versions of python/django (I ser you're still supporting django 1.11)

Yes django-storages is brilliant for supporting various cloud storages. We both want to have a storage class for private files, and have a decent way of exposing/serving those files. The library was developed against Django 1.11 so there may still be references, but it only supports modern Django.
