You might see that the Dropbox Community team have been busy working on some major updates to the Community itself! So, here is some info on what’s changed, what’s staying the same and what you can expect from the Dropbox Community overall.
No option to disable downloads for shared links on Dropbox Plus
Straight to the point - there is no way to prevent downloads with the ‘PLUS’ plan. Previously, you could set to ‘view’ and prevent downloading. Now… the options are awful. View should mean view. The Dropbox answer? Upgrade to ESSENTIALS - preventing downloading should be available to all users. And other options are available. So that’s why I am leaving Dropbox.
