DigitalOcean Spaces Presigned URL | An Intro

A DigitalOcean Spaces presigned URL can be described as a special URL that offers temporary access to specific objects stored in DigitalOcean Spaces.

Furthermore, it allows us to generate a URL that offers time-limited access to the object. These URLs provide access to an object for a specific user or client. They don’t require direct access to our Spaces credentials.

Let’s take a look at some scenarios where presigned URLs are useful:

  • We can generate a presigned URL for an object in DigitalOcean Spaces and share it with a specific user or client. This allows them to download or access the object for a limited period of time without a permanent access key.
  • Presigned URLs have an expiration time that we define. This ensures that access to the object is granted only for a specific time. After the URL expires, the access is not valid. This offers an additional layer of security.
  • Furthermore, presigned URLs can let clients or users to directly upload files to DO Spaces.

How to generate a DigitalOcean Spaces presigned URL

First, we have to identify the object in Spaces and determine the desired permissions.

  • Then, we have to use the DO Spaces API or SDKs to generate the presigned URL. Additionally, we have to add parameters like HTTP method, object key, expiration time, etc.
  • Now, we can share the presigned URL with the intended user or client. They can use this URL to access or perform the allowed operation on the object within the specified timeframe.
