Never showing cached file

I believe this is done through guidance from groupdocs, but I need to look through the support files here again. if there’s anything new along these lines I would greatly appreciate your continued help.

this looks interesting

There are two query string parameters that are supported it’s either ?file= or ?url=. Using ?file= query string parameter you can specify a relative path to a file in storage to open by default. Using ?url= query string parameter you can specify the URL for the file to download and open.
