What is the issue you’re encountering

Hi everyone, I have an e-commerce website that sells digital products. I’m hosting the download links on Google Drive but I’m concerned about the security and unauthorized sharing of these links. Do you think I can use Cloudflare Workers to make these links more secure? For example, can I make it so that only authenticated users can access the files, or generate a new unique link every time a file is downloaded? I would appreciate it if you could share your experiences and solutions. CloudflareWorkers Security #download #authentication

Hi there,

That will always be a problem when using Google Drive, since as far as I know, you can’t generate multiple unique links, so when a link finds its way into the wild, your only option is to stop that share.

Since you’re using WordPress, this might be the best solution for you:

If you’d still rather use workers, then this might not be exactly what you requested, but you can use the same principle to build from:

Do note that this is not created or maintained by Cloudflare, so use it at your own risk.

Take care.
