Hi there Early User - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this. 

I've noted your feedback in our system and you can also post your feature requests in the Ideas section of the Community by following these steps as well, if you like.

I know it's not much, but I hope this helps a tad. 

Please let me know if you have anything else to add or ask.

PS: Dropbox has been around since 2007 so it would be close to 20 years now, not over.

    Walter-san,
    Thank you very much for your suggestion.
    I'm going to post my request on the suggested "feature requests". I don't want to get lost just to create view-only sharing link 😁.
    By the way, you are right. I was in US till 2007, and went back to Japan September 2007. It was in Japan when I started subscribing Dropbox. So, it was 2007 or 2008. It is NOT OVER 20 years, but almost 20 years😆.
