Assets cannot be accessed from a public account

[eternalflamez]

Describe the Bug

Adding read access to the directus_files collection does not give public access to specific assets.

To Reproduce

• Upload an image
• Set public access for Directus Files to Read
• Try to open the path to the image: https://slug.directus.app/assets/id
• Get a 403 with: You don't have permission to access this

I've also tried giving all permissions for all things on public, hoping that one of them might trigger it so I could get there by process of elimination, but that didn't help either. Note that the image does load when adding a token as a param to the url, or sending it through the headers.

I can confirm that accessing assets seems to have problems with 9.9.1. I just updated from 9.5.0 to 9.9.1 and my images are not being displayed anymore.
Did the process of accessing assets somehow change?

@eternalflamez I believe your project should be good now.

As OP's issue should be cloud-specific and it should be resolved, I'll close this for now. Will re-open if it turns out to be not the case.

@ndee85 is there any info on the problems such as error logs in the terminal or in the browser console? Could it be CSP (Content Security Policy) related? Happy to debug further if necessary!
