How to disable /files endpoints on parse-server

With the newly available community version of Parse server (https://github.com/parse-community/parse-server) there does not seem to be a configuration option to disable the /files endpoints which allow for file upload and hosting. I would very much like to disable this feature, and Cloud Code server-side hooks are not a good option (not currently supported in parse-dashboard, among other problems). What's the best way to disable these endpoints?

Using a little middleware works for me. Add this to your parse app config:

{
  "middleware": "disableFilesMiddleware",
}

And then for your middleware module disableFilesMiddleware.js:

module.exports = function( req , res , next ){

  if( req.path.substring( 0 , 12 ) === '/parse/files' ) {
    res.status(400).send({ code: 119 , message: 'files endpoints are disabled' }); 
    return;
  }

  next();
};
