I have updated the generator to include a private overload. What Stephen suggested works for me (as in theory). Save as private and share a signed link including a named transformation. This way I can share the image, scaled and watermarked, and the end user cannot access the original image.

I’ll set up a Cloudinary Generator app soon. So you can 1. generated a curl example and 2. inspect the blocks.

I’ll set up the generator app when the current project is ready for live testing. Here are some working blocks.

Uploading as private allows for derived image urls links can be shared so no eager transformation required

I hope these can assist others.
