Signed URLs allow controlled access to private data in Google Cloud Storage. A signed URL is a URL with an access signature attached, which you can issue for authenticated users to download or upload objects. Signed URLs expire after a specified period of time. You can use signed URLs to share objects with users who don't have access to your Google Cloud Storage bucket. To use signed URLs, you must first enable the Cloud Storage service. Once you've enabled the service, you can create a signed URL by using the generateSignedUrlV4() method in the Google Cloud Storage client library.
