Who can view my media files that I have uploaded to BlueString?
All your media files are private and viewable only by you - the account owner. If you choose to share your files, people who receive your shared files will be able to view those media files you select. But these files never leave your account, so you can revoke sharing permissions to maintain ultimate control.
