Public Files​

Public files can be used for anonymous access to files decorated with SharingType.Public flag. Public files decorated with SharingType.AnyoneWithLink flag stored in tenant specific and non-tenant databases can be accessed using access token.

Access Token​

Access token authenticates anonymous access to file(s) using impersonation into the tenant specific context.

  • Token can define allowed access into specific db context
    • Private for tenant-specific db
    • Public for shared non-tenant db
    • Auto (default) for any of them
  • Token expiration can be defined in range from zero to 24 hours
  • Range of allowed files can be defined by file identifiers, folder identifiers or file paths
    • expiration criteria expiresOn, expiresIn are mutually exclusive
    • expiration and atleast one range criterium fileIds, folderIds, paths must be specified
    • multiple range criteria can be used at the same time, they are applied using OR / ANY operation
