Shared filename names
Is there a way to at least know a consistent filename to be used with a group of shared files. I have 1000 jpg files and other files (mp4's) that I want to be able to share. I wrote a program to associate those 1000+ files with a map location and the map location has a URL associated with it that allows the file to display. This all works as planned. The problem I have is that the URL for all 1000+ files do not have a consistent naming convention because of how the sharing names are created. As an example, Here are two files names generated from sharing the files:

These are fictitious filenames but the generated security information around it is real. With no consistency, Is there a way to know what the security information around the shared filenames so I can automate these?

I suspected as much but was hoping for a solution that I could use.
It would be nice if I could at least define a folder that didn't need government level encryption to share files. Don't know if dropbox would do that. I would be satisfied with a shared folder that used the same level of security that was available to program on files in that folder that I want to share.
For what its worth.
Thanks
