You can do this using ContentProvider:Preload() and ContentProvider:GetAssetFetchStatusChangedSignal(). However I don’t recommend using this method for whitelists as exploiters can easily abuse it.

Example:

local ContentProvider = game:GetService("ContentProvider")

local ExistsConnection: RBXScriptConnection? = nil
local Path = "rbxasset://hello.txt"

ExistsConnection = ContentProvider:GetAssetFetchStatusChangedSignal(Path):Connect(function(Status: Enum.AssetFetchStatus)
	if (Status == Enum.AssetFetchStatus.Success) then
		ExistsConnection:Disconnect()
		print("File Exists")
		return
	elseif (Status == Enum.AssetFetchStatus.Failure or Enum.AssetFetchStatus.TimedOut) then
		ExistsConnection:Disconnect()
		print("Failed to find file")
		return
	end
end)

ContentProvider:Preload(Path)
