We can have a private group and a category secured by the group. Unfortunately, links to any resources (files, images, …) are publicly accessible. Any chance to have them secured the same way the group messages / private category topics are?

Warning: secure media is a complex mode to be in. Be _sure_ you need it before enabling it. Like.. really, _really_ sure you need it.
