Yes I agree it is a good idea to have a two step access or more, such as folder (maybe user's id / timestamp) + random file name.

I think you have to be careful with just relying on random string names because of the 'Birthday Paradox' and chances of collision.

This is also why GUID's are probably the preferred method with maybe even appending or pre-appending a timestamp
