Is there any protection against screen shots or screen recordings when a file is shared?

    Hey Kasamanixxx, thanks for reaching out to us.

     

    At the moment, there's no feature that would stop someone from taking screenshots, while previewing a shared file.

     

    Users on Dropbox Professional, Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise plans can stop their shared links from being downloaded, they can add expiry dates or password protect them.

     

    I will however pass your feedback along to our team about this.

     

    Let us know if you have any questions.
