    Hi  ,

     

    The get embed link will generate a unique URL based on a file ID, so the short answer is that you wouldn't add a shared URL to it because a unique embed link will be generated (kind of like a shared link).

     

    The slightly longer answer is that if you want to have more of a shared link experience you can customize the URL with the appropriate configuration fields, specifically showDownload, showAnnotations, and by setting fields to expiring_embed_link. That will allow you to customize and control what information is shared / seen.

     

    Hope that helps,

    Jon

    Thank you! It seems that access to content by 'emded_expiring_link' works without authorisation.
