Temporary download URLs

You can use temporary download URLs for your cloud storage resources to prevent unwanted access. For example, when a user wants to download a file, we redirect to an s3 resource but have the URL expire in 5 seconds.

1public function download(File $file)
2{
3    // Initiate file download by redirecting to a temporary s3 URL that expires in 5 seconds
4    return redirect()->to(
5        Storage::disk('s3')->temporaryUrl($file->name, now()->addSeconds(5))
6    );
7}
