Can members remain anonymous?

This question hasn't been answered in several years, so I'm wondering if there has been an update. We are sharing a folder with sensitive information and do not want members to see other members' in...

    Thanks Mark. Do you know of any workarounds that don't involve creating unique folders for each member?

      Do they just need read only access? If so why not just create a shared link for everybody

        If we do this, is there risk that the link could be shared by anyone we share it with? 

        Can I achieve what I'm looking for (keeping viewers anonymous) if I use Docsend to share the folder?
