How do digital download websites “hide” or “mask” the direct URL to a file?

What technique(s) do digital download websites use to “hide” or “mask” the direct URL to a file you’re downloading, where the links expire after a while and can’t be used by multiple people to access the same file… I’ve been searching the internet but it doesn’t seem widely discussed (or maybe I’m searching for the wrong things?) even though it’s an extremey common thing when it comes to digital downloads?
