TERA supports direct file links that can be used to reference assets such as images and documents from websites, reports, and other applications.
This feature is particularly useful for developers, website administrators, and teams working with digital content.
A direct file link is a URL intended to provide access to a specific file resource.
Unlike a general sharing page, a direct link may be used by another application to request the file directly.
The exact response depends on the file type, access requirements, and TERA's implementation.
Website Images
Reference image assets from websites or other digital content.
Documents and Reports
Provide a direct reference to a document used by another system.
Application Integrations
Allow applications to access supported file resources through a URL.
Digital Asset Management
Maintain file references for content used across multiple projects.
A shareable link is primarily designed to help people access shared content.
A direct file link is intended to reference a file resource, potentially for use by software or web content.
These link types may differ in how authentication, previews, expiration, and downloads are handled.
Before using a direct link:
Confirm that the file is appropriate for the intended audience.
Review any access restrictions.
Avoid publicly exposing confidential resources.
Consider how applications will handle expired or revoked access.
Verify whether the link is suitable for automated access.
Application developers should verify:
Whether authentication is required.
Whether the URL remains stable when a file changes.
Whether direct access is subject to rate or traffic limits.
Whether cross-origin access is supported.
What happens when a file is moved or deleted.
Consult TERA's official API and sharing documentation for implementation-specific behavior.
