Reactjs – Can i restrict users from copying the button link on my website?

I am working on React and Django Rest Framework with AWS. I don’t have Public Access blocked on AWS. I am running short on time as I have to complete my project. I want users who access my website to not be able to right-click and copy the download button link. Because then they can save it and share it.

Any suggestions? I was wondering if I could disable the copy link address for the download button. That would make things much easier for me.

    Your best approach here is to generate an expiring link to the S3 object. Give it a short expiration time – a couple of minutes, or even less if you only generate it when the user only clicks the link – and sharing it around thus won’t be all that useful.

    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/ShareObjectPreSignedURL.html

    In Python, you can use Boto to do this. https://boto3.amazonaws.com/v1/documentation/api/latest/guide/s3-presigned-urls.html

    s3_client = boto3.client('s3')
s3_client.generate_presigned_url('get_object', Params={'Bucket': bucket_name, 'Key': object_name}, ExpiresIn=300)

    You can disable right click using this

    useEffect(() => {
    document.addEventListener('contextmenu', event => {
    event.preventDefault();
    });
}, [ ])
