Help - need to share files privately - group members want to be anonymous
How can I share a document with a group of people and not have each member of the group see the other members? I have a very large file I need comments on - but my group members do not want to share ...
- I want to clarify something...
The suggestion I made did NOT involve a share link to the file (though share links are discussed on the same help article that I referenced). When you select a file and click share you now have two options; creating a link or inviting someone to the file. I am referring to inviting someone to the file. This is done in a way that is similar to a shared folder. An invitation to view the file is sent to the person and only that person can see it.

How can I do this so the people I invite cannot download the document, they can only view the document and comment on it? Thank you again for your help!Hello, ioa...
Unfortunately you cannot prevent people from downloading files (view this Forum post).
However, you could consider protecting your sensitive documents to be read-only by assigning a password to prevent modifications. It's not a perfect solution but it can be effective (view search).

Hello...
To test-drive what can actually be seen by each member, please fell free to leave a comment on one of the picture files located inside my example folder.
Afterwards, I'll leave a comment as well. You may be able to see each Dropbox member's account name who leaves a comment (eg: 310EI), but I don't think that you should be able to see my email address from within the comments section. We'll find out together.
Cool - I am on my way there now - Thank you!
- done - when I tried going back earlier it said I had to request access - but I left another comment as you requested. Thank you for this test!!!
