    Hey there (banjo1), please bear in mind that disabling downloads for shared link content is currently available to Dropbox Professional & Business users. If this feature is important to you, then you may consider changing your plan. Thanks!

thanks for the link.  Which of the drop box accounts would enable me to enable view and disable download?
