Uploaded files are removed along with temporary files depending on file system settings #6

As per the known issues list mention in the release of Drupal 8.3.2, certain uploaded files are liable to be deleted in time along with temporary files (default is 6 hours). Files uploaded via webform_protected_downloads (WPD) are susceptible to this unless you set "Delete temporary files after" to "Never" at /admin/config/media/file-system.

I don't fully understand the details of the known issue but I gather that files uploaded via WPD are not recorded in the database as "in use" by a particular entity.

7 already fixed this in this repo, plus the new version of this back on https://www.drupal.org/project/webform_protected_downloads incorporates the fix.
