Getting private file from Spaces via query string / access token ??

https://www.myazure.storage.net/myfolder/myfile.txt?acces_token=xyddjaslkja

I also would like to use spaces for streaming videos via https with this token,…

Hi there,

Spaces has been designed to be compatible with the S3 API in order to allow users to leverage existing tools. Accessing private files requires generating a signature for authentication. As this is quite complicated, you should generally use an existing library in your programing language of choice.

Let us know more about how you are trying to access the files, and we can provide a more specific answer.

Best,

Bobby
