Hey there Carolinej, thanks for reaching out to us. 

 

If you disable downloads for a shared link, users won't be able to download the content from Dropbox, but they should be able to preview it. 

 

This is available currently for Dropbox Professional and Business subscriptions. 

 

For this reason, could you clarify what happens when others try to preview the videos while you have the option to Disable downloads enabled?

 

Keep me posted, cheers!
