How can I secure my Django file storage on DigitalOcean Spaces?

To secure your Django file storage on DigitalOcean Spaces, you can use signed URLs and set proper permissions.

What are signed URLs and how do I implement them?

Signed URLs are temporary links that grant access to private files. You can generate them using the boto3 library in Django.

Can you show me an example of generating a signed URL?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import boto3
from botocore.exceptions import NoCredentialsError

client = boto3.client('s3', region_name='your-region',
                      aws_access_key_id='your-access-key',
                      aws_secret_access_key='your-secret-key')

url = client.generate_presigned_url('get_object',
    Params={'Bucket': 'your-bucket', 'Key': 'your-file-key'},
    ExpiresIn=3600)

What other security measures should I consider?

In addition to signed URLs, consider using HTTPS, setting bucket policies, and regularly reviewing access logs.
