How to handle Download request authorization with uploadthing?
I am reading through the documentation and I can see that I can create signed URLs to download private files. However, I am wondering how people handle authorization for this. For instance if I have a NextJs server action ( like getSignedUrl(fileUrl)) that returns a signed URL if I send it a file URL, how can I tell whether the user is authorized to see this file? I would have to encode some kind of data in the file URL, which I can then decode in the getSignedUrl(fileUrl) server action in order to see if user has access to that specific URL, correct?
