[SOLVED] Cannot access generated download link

Hi, After uploading a file using the storage api, I generate a download link locally. When i try to preview the image using that link i get an error ( in the screenshot in red) But i am logged in on my application.

I am trying to access the image using Image.network({link}) from the application I can successfully load the image if i use the SDK method but that wont be convenient because i store the links as an array of string in the database

I know that it is possible to add headers inside Image.network() but which headers to add ?

TL;DR

The user was having trouble accessing a generated download link. The issue was solved by using the URL provided in the Appwrite Console and including the project ID in the URL for security purposes. The user also mentioned that they had tried adding read permission for guests, but still encountered the same error. They were trying to access the image using Image.network({link}) from their application and wanted to know which headers to add for convenience. No solution for adding headers was provided in the thread.

Update: I tried adding read permission to guest.... i still get the same error

Update2: I saw that you can get the link to the file from the console: after making some change i came up with

What would be the best way to generate urls please?

Ps: The server is on Gitpod so the link might not work all the time

Hi, thank you for your question, allow me to look into the best ways and get back to you

PS - Luffy's picture looks great haha

ok ok

ok ok no issue 🙂 I will wait

What you did is actually the correct way - using URL that you see in Appwrite Console. Talking about "do we really need to add the project ID inside the url?" - yes You can do custom ID for file ID. 2 projects can set same custom ID.. So without project ID, it would be impossible to know which project it belongs to. It's for security
