Using [uplink](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/api-reference/uplink-cli) or [rclone](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/how-tos/sync-files-with-rclone) with a native integration can be faster, if your users have enough bandwidth.  
You may provide them a read-only access grant generated by uplink or even S3 keys, something like

```auto
uplink share --url --not-after=+24h sj://snapshots/2023-02-20-11-00-00.tar.gz

```

It will generate a read-only access grant (for uplink CLI, rclone or [Filezilla](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/filezilla) with a native integration), S3 credentials (for those who have a low bandwidth, they could configure almost any S3-compatible tool, like [AWS CLI](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/getting-started/gateway-mt), [rclone with S3-compatible integration](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/how-tos/sync-files-with-rclone/rclone-with-hosted-gateway) or [Cyberduck](https://docs.storj.io/dcs/how-tos/how-to-use-cyberduck-and-storj-dcs)) and linksharing URL (for all others).
