The storage serve docs direct the use of ctx.storage.getUrl(), but my IDE says the function is deprecated.

https://docs.convex.dev/file-storage/serve-files

What, then, is the best practice for accessing stored file data?

This is actually just a weird interaction with the IDE. The function isn't deprecated as a whole; what's deprecated is calling it with an argument other than Id<"_storage"> . Which means ctx.storage.getUrl(id) where id is inferred to be string or any will cause the IDE to complain. You can either pass through the type as Id<"_storage">, probably by using argument or schema validation v.id("_storage"), or cast it ctx.storage.getUrl(id as Id<"_storage">)
