✅

Turns out you do not need to use boto3 to generate a presigned url. Django-storages abstracts the entire process. You can simply generate it as follows docfile.url.

— Edit —-

For reference, here is the S3 storage class method that generates the pre-signed url for you

Here is sample code for generating pre-signed url for object in S3

import boto3

client = boto3.client('s3')
response = client.generate_presigned_url('get_object',Params={'Bucket': bucket_name,
                                                              'Key': objectpath},
                                         HttpMethod="GET", ExpiresIn=expires_in)
