Limit and delete files after download

I would like for my files to be automatically deleted once downloaded one time.  Is that possible?

    Hi RanchWest, thanks for messaging the Community!

     

    Currently this isn't possible using the Dropbox site, either for files to be automatically deleted after a download, or to stop downloads after a single user download.

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.

    There is a daily bandwidth limit, so if this gets exceeded, then the shared links on that account would be banned temporarily.
