Users can download my video even if I disabled this option while sharing a link.
I'm pro user. I enabled the disable download option on my shared video but other shared users can also download this video. why?

How are they downloading it? All this option does is remove the download buttons etc. It does not mean there is no way, at all, to download it.
- The download botton is still enable for other users so they can do it by clicking it, even I cancel this option through share settings of this video
I'm pro user. I enabled the disable downloads option for invited people on my shared video, nevertheless invited people still can download this video (The download bוtton is still enabled for them). why?

The ability to disable downloads is a function of a shared link. If you explicitly invited someone to a file or folder, which requires them to have a Dropbox account, you can't restrict them from downloading because the file(s) shared with them are automatically added to their Dropbox account.
I share a file thru shared link and disable the download, when the user open the shared link the user can still download the file. The disable download feature is not working. Please advise.
