# Sharing an Object Using Presigned URL

The Share Object feature is used to generate a temporary and secure access link (Presigned URL) for an object. This link allows users to access the object for a limited time without changing bucket permissions.

1.Go to the bucket, locate the required object, and click on the **Actions (three dots)** option. Then select **Share**.

2. **Set Time Duration**\
   The Share Object window will appear. Enter the required time in:

* **Number of hours**
* **Number of minutes**

This defines how long the link will remain active.\ <br>

Click on **Copy URL** to copy the link and share it with the intended user. The link will remain active until the specified expiration time, even if the bucket and object are private.\

After copying the URL to paste these URLs your browser and the object is downloaded automatically.
