Remarks
This interface is related to VaultSharedLinkOperations, which is used for controlling public links (for instance by creating and deleting them). The "SharedLinkPublicOperations" interface (this one), in turn, is used for accessing the publicly shared files wihtout logging in to M-Files. To use the "SharedLinkPublicOperations" interface, a server connection needs to be established by using the ConnectWithoutLogin method. To sum up, only M-Files users can create public links, but they can be accessed by others via the "SharedLinkPublicOperations" interface.
The methods of this interface do not work with cached replica vaults.
