Copy link button creates an edit link on a view file
I made a folder that has a view link. When clicking the copy link button, it enables an edit link which I do not want, I want it strictly view only. Is there a way to change this default action? How do I get a view link again?

I too am experiencing this issue. We have 150 people that access our DropBox Resources folder. I CAN NOT send out editing links that allow someone to just arbitrarily start rearranging or deleting and adding stuff to our Resources. I need to know with confidence that I am sending View Only links. I used to get an option to toggle what permissions I wanted to send. Suddenly there NO VIEW LINKS created on my folders. I have to go in and reissue permissions on all my resources and their subfolders. I have to generate view links and even then, when I attempt to copy the view link -- it says it allows editing which I cannot do. Can this please be fixed? This is a catastrophic breach for us.

hi MMG-Pam and d9824 you can manage your default sharing settings by going to https://www.dropbox.com/account/sharing on Dropbox.com in your web browser. There you can make your default access for link sharing "view" instead of "edit."
