What feature of Cloud Storage allows objects to be accessed temporarily with a special URL?

  1. Secure Access

  2. Temporary Keys

  3. Signed URLs

  4. One-time Tokens

The correct answer is: Signed URLs

Signed URLs are a special feature of Cloud Storage that allows objects to be accessed temporarily with a unique, time-limited URL. This URL can be generated for specific objects and can be shared with others so that they can access the object for a limited time period. This eliminates the need for providing permanent access to the object and ensures secure access for a set period of time. The other options are incorrect because A) Secure access is a general term that does not specifically refer to temporary access of objects, B) Temporary keys are used for accessing APIs and do not relate to object access, and D) One-time tokens are usually used for authentication and do not pertain to object access.
