The GET_PRESIGNED_URL function in Snowflake generates a pre-signed URL for a file in an internal stage. This URL can be shared with external tools or users who do not have direct access to Snowflake, allowing them to download the file.
* Generate Pre-Signed URL:
SELECT GET_PRESIGNED_URL(@my_stage/file.txt);
* Share the URL: The generated URL can be shared with external users or applications, enabling them to access the file directly.
