Steps to reproduce

How do I remove the timestamp from a generated static resource?
For example, I have a node that generated a resource:

"http://IP/files/tools/1e7c83fa-2f36-4424-ae6a-3bdd6969581e.png?timestamp=1762844245&nonce=5a21b33f812aa69008b63426239c131d&sign=2i-DAcho3COxWPD3gRmyTqFCaBjxf2br8Hvg0vVz4X0="

I want it to be permanently accessible. The desired result is:

"http://IP/files/tools/1e7c83fa-2f36-4424-ae6a-3bdd6969581e.png"

@dosubot[bot] commented on GitHub (Nov 11, 2025):

Dify appends timestamps and signatures to static resource URLs (like images and files) for security, causing them to expire after a set period (default is 5 minutes). There is no built-in configuration to completely remove these parameters or make URLs permanently accessible. The only workaround is to set the FILES_ACCESS_TIMEOUT environment variable to a very large value (in seconds), which will make the URLs last much longer, but this may reduce security and does not remove the timestamp from the URL itself. For truly permanent, timestamp-free URLs, code changes would be required to bypass the signing and expiration logic in the backend API. More details and discussion can be found here and here.

To reply, just mention @dosu.
