In my project I use private storage and when I study the select box of previous uploaded files I see in the values appear the real file locations (in my case I have chosen /var/files/subdirectory). Apparently private storage is not supported. When I choose one of the uploaded files I get the error message:

An HTTP error 404 occurred.
/subdirectory/media_browser/files

I noticed that this core functionality of Drupal is often forgotten by developers. Please don't treat it as a feature and include compatibility from the beginning.

note that active development is currently only in the d7 branch. not sure if this still applies; however, we should watch for that during the backport.

note that the d7 version supports private files out of the box.
