    When adding a download is it possible to link to an external URL in the “File URL(s):” box?

    For example – can I host my downloads on an external service such as AWS and manage access to them through my website using DLM?

    Thanks.

  • Yes you can link to a file hosted on an external site or a file from the media library.

    If you list multiple URLs Download Monitor will direct the user to a random link each time so you can mirror the download in multiple locations if required.

    That’s great – thanks for the swift reply!

    Hello,

    Yes, that is possible but please note that this method won’t provide any file protection and a user could then share the direct link to file and access it without using the download link generated by our plugin.
