Protecting files within folders on a wordpress site

I have a private wordpress website which is made ‘private’ with a plugin. Now it asks users to enter a password to view the site. However, if someone has the full link to files that are uploaded on the site, they can download them without any authentication. I managed to prevent a directory listing with .htaccess but files can still be downloaded. Is there a way to prevent downloads unless the user is logged in? Perhaps with .htaccess itself?
