"Private media assets" vs "Token-based authentication" What is the difference?

HaiNguyen

Hi there

Thanks for reaching out.

Im trying to upload my image/video as private to restrict access from guest, then i create an Url for that image/video with expired time for specific user (like for sombody logged in my system)

I did that by using Providing time-limited access to private media assets.

But i also hear about Token-based authentication (premium feature) have similar functions and some advantage (i really dont know), but it is premium feature.

So what is the difference between Providing time-limited access to private media assets and Token-based authentication (premium feature)? And for my case, which approach is better?
