As discussed in this older thread (https://discord.com/channels/564160730845151244/1216821517749321808), the Read permission for Any needs to be enabled in order to allow uploading files >5MB (since they're chunked then)? Isn't this very undesirable as it opens up access to all files in a bucket to the public?

Is there any alternative to this when trying to make uploading files >5 MB work with the web SDK?

TL;DR
Developers are concerned about enabling public Read permission for Any in order to allow chunked uploads of files >5MB using the web SDK, as it grants public access to all files. Is there an alternative solution available to achieve this?
