Want to know more about how External Storage works? Here's a handy diagram showcasing how V7 uses signed URLs to give users access to externally-registered data:

As the signed URLs can represent a large amount of data which needs to be loaded by the browser, the signed URLs are cached at an image level; which allows significantly improved page performance when the browser is able to re-use the images from its cache. The URLs are valid for 4 hours.
