Explanation

A Pre-signed URL is a temporary, time-limited URL generated by Snowflake that embeds authorization credentials directly in the URL itself. This allows anyone with the URL to access the file in a stage without needing a Snowflake account, login, or authorization token - making it ideal for sharing unstructured data externally. Scoped URLs are encoded URLs that require a valid Snowflake session to use. File URLs provide direct access to staged files but require Snowflake authentication. Signed URL is not a standard Snowflake URL type.
