CDN/block storage could for hosting files solution needed

Hello,
I am looking for a solution of hosting files for customers. Mostly EU (UK, DE, FR) and USA.
I am looking for CDN or block storage or other solution.
I want to provide a file to customer and secure this file that customer is able e.g. download only 3times.
Some tokens, generated via API ?
Shop at Server/VPS >> CDN/storage >> link for customer with e.g 3 time of download.
Do you know any company or solution which would help me?
I have spend few days on that and even from different companies do know the solution and they need to contact with developers, so I guess it is something new.
Dedicated servers are too expensive for my needs.
At the moment I use at my VPS (shop and files) about 300GB and 1TB transfer.
Thank you in advance.

There are like a million options here
OVH Block Storage
DigitalOcean Spaces
BunnyCDN does storage which you can attach to a BunnyCDN CDN so its all with @bunnyspeed. And its very well priced too.
If you have more money than sense there's Azure and AWS
Block storage is a very packed market these days
They pretty much all do tokenised access so you can generate tokens on the fly and provide single use URLs to your users. You'd need a flow through your app to keep track of how many times its been downloaded
which option would be cost effective? price compare to speed?
the question if OVH Block Storage allow to add some tokens/mechanism to prevent from unlimited number of download. The tech support was not able to answer me. I have send email to them.
That's something you need to do the math on your own?
I know that finally decision will be mine.
Thanks to this great forum I know that BunnyCDN exist, so maybe you have other providers where is worth to look?
Thank you in advance for any ideas.
