Is there a way to limit shared link downloads?

Is there a way that I can limit the times someone is able to download a file/folder before theit link is deemed 'used'?

It would be great to set a limit on the number of times a shareable file can be viewed/downloaded. I often need to send a link to one customer but don't want them to share that with anyone else, so being able to limit how many times it can be downloaded is important in this situation. It would be great to have the ability to set a limit here (e.g. 1) for a shareable link or using Dropbox Transfer.

Hi databuzz, happy Tuesday! 

 

That sounds like a cool feature request. When you have some free time, feel free to share a bit more info, or how you'd like to see it come to life on our "Share an idea" board. 

 

That'll help others to upvote it, and for our Team to also see what our users have to suggest. 

 

Thanks a bunch!
