I'm pretty sure you're using two mutually exclusive features. You can disable downloads on a view-only shared link, but when you explicitly invite someone to a file, you're giving them the ability to add it to their Dropbox account, which means they'll be able to download it.
Don't invite them to the file. Just give them the view-only shared link.

its strange to me that u can aprove them once u sent them the link but after that it automatically sends email from dropbox where they can download it and edit etc.. but in the same time on that link from which they requested approvel its approved and they cannot download it and edit however they got mail from dropbox where I invite them to edit the file 😄 😄 😄 😄 its really confusing for me thats this functionality is not avaible. What if u wanted to share file that u dont want to be downloaded and u want to also disable the option of sharing it with another users.. in this case u must aprove their request to the file for viewing only but in the same time dropbox sends invitation to edit the file 😄 its rly weird
Hi everyone 🙂
please I am looking for an option to share a File with many users but in the same time I want to aprove their emails/accounts. I also want to Disable Download option for them. Its an video recording which they can buy for me so I can send link and they can view it. But I dont want to allow them share the video with others.
Only option I found is that I can generate view link with Disabled option. However whenever they request access to the folder and I aprove them it automatically sends another mail that gives them Edit permission (this mail comes directly from Dropbox)...
I dont get it 🙂
Is there any way I can solve this problem ?
Thank u very much for your help 🙂

Refer to my original reply to you above.
Hi Rich,
yes but the person from Dropbox whom I was in contact told me that it possible to do. U said I have to choose but I dont want that 🙂 I need both functionalities. Thats why I am looking for someone who knows my problem.
I dont believe that this common feature is not available..- Hannah

Hey univerzitka, Rich is correct here, but can you give us the ticket number for the communication you had with our team member, so we can take a look?
