How to prevent members from exporting/sharing the shared files
I am the owner of a Shared Folder. How do I prevent members (both "can edit" and "can view" members) from accessing the blue "Shared" button (that has "Send Link", "Send copy of file", and "Copy Link")?
I would like them to just view the file, without being able to email it to someone else.

Hey RDNS, thanks for reaching out to us.
I'm afraid you can't prevent a folder member (viewer or editor) from sharing the folder with other people.
Editors can share it with editing permissions, while viewers can only share it with viewing only permissions.
When it comes to shared links, there are some permission settings you can set, but these don't apply when sharing the folder with edit permissions.
I will however, pass your comments along to our team.
Let me know if you have any questions.
