Thanks for the reply, on the picture you can see a red rectangle on right of the image, this download and link icon appears on the frame. Is there a way to remove it?

Hey edumassu, you mentioned that you're using a shared link, is that correct? 

 

The only way to disable downloads for a shared link, would be if you're on a paid Dropbox Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plan. 

 

As for re-sharing it, people that you share the link with will be able to do this.

 

I hope this clarifies!

    Thanks for the reply, just one more question: If I embebed the dropbox inside an Iframe the download icon will be unavailable, what happen with the link icon? is still be visible and functional? Thanks in advance.

      Hey edumassu, do you mean the second icon on the right, as shown on your screenshot above?

        Thanks for the reply, 

         

        Yes, the icon I would like to eliminate is the second from right to left, it is a chain (so other users can have the link), for me the best scenario will be to have an embebed frame without the download and share link icons, this way I can make sure the average user can view the files, but can not download or share with other people.

         

        Thanks in advance for your response,
