Is there a way to disable downloads on ALL my files and make it the default?

It would be rare or never that I want to let someone download a file I send a link to. Is there a way to disable downloads as the default? (yes, I have a "professional" account)

JasonSilverDBX​ Have any of the above mentioned features been added since? I’m particularly interested in disabling downloads for ALL files by default.

    Hi SarahOrgana​,

    I've looked into this and it seems like this functionality has not been added as of yet.

    I'll keep an eye out and update this thread if there is any news.
