What do you mean by "file swap"? If you are referring to swapping out a hat file with, say, a different hat file - it would be completely pointless. That sort of thing only shows up on the client's side, so nobody else would know.
Forcing players to download the files temporarily every time they logged in would be a dreadful idea - I'd pity anyone with a data cap.
I've only ever heard you talk about Era protecting their files. I'm not confident that this exists the way you say it does, but maybe Era staff can shed some light on the subject. As far as I know, all the Graal apps have some sort of auto-ban triggered when you edit certain files. Could this be what you are referring to?
One last question for you - what issues do you think preventing file access will actually solve? It might make it more difficult to steal customs, but even if the files are downloaded temporarily I'm sure there would be a way to obtain them.

Yes that's what I mean by file swap lol, And it honestly just makes it possible to get uploads of othere. I say this mainly because I seen this system used in a very harsh and harassing way. This one guy in inner school a few months back swapped the files from this girl to one I presume he made where she appeared i guess naked on his screen. And used it as a laughing matter among friends, As well as it can swap things out from other objects in graal. some of which seem to effect the game or benefit them.
I also don't think the data issue is really much of a concern. Mainly because one heads and bodies aren't really that big of a file to download. They are typically under 30kb usually and sometimes are infact 1 or 2 kb in size for most heads. Unless you downloaded every single head that exist in graal, I don't think there would be much of a difference. I mean in a months time you may get to 50-70 MB used in your data. Maybe more but i don't see such thing being an issue or data being very high, Especially since most people seem to play at the comfort of their own home using Wifi. If you're playing graal all day on cellular data, you probably would have unlimited data.
Personally think that preventing file access would make it impossible to get the files or at least make it far more difficult to get these files. And possibly other content which can benefit them or give them an advantage in certain ways. Like Saeed said, People get frustrated when people spend hours to create customs and can't be assured that what they made can't be stolen. If you don't check the box in your profile that allows you to download files from the game. It won't save to your device, which means you can't really ifile what isn't saved, I'm not aware of how you could possibly get around that. Or force graal to save files
