Disable download feature after sharing dropbox link
I was wondering if I could upload a video and share with others the link but block their ability to download the video. Is anyone familiar with this?
- 7 years agoHi omashakaren - I just did a Google search and found that Dropbox Professional and Business customers can disable downloads for a shared link (and also set passwords and expiration dates for those links)... but evidently dropbox wants us to pay for those features? I'm guessing that's what it takes to become a Professional or Business customer. $200/year seems like a lot to disable downloads... sigh.

Dave C. That's precisely why I won't use Dropbox. I was thinking of upgrading but then realised everyone can still download my stuff.
