Re: how can i let a file be viewed but not downloaded

It needs to be a shared link not shared access as most of my clients don't have Dropbox. I simply want clients to be able to look at the photos in the file but not be able to download them until they have paid. Once paid I can change access (hopefully). Can changing this access be done via the app on a phone?

 

Please help and thanks!
