Folder sharing default on iPhone

In the past, the default for sharing a folder from iPhone or computer was view, not edit. Now the share default is set to allow editing. Is there a way to change the default to viewing?

    Hi there Jon C.17 - thanks for posting on our Community!

     

    While there's no way to change the default settings for sharing, you should be able to adjust your links for viewing or editing when first sharing your files or folders from the mobile app on your iPhone. 

     

    I hope this helps!
