Hi there, unfortunately that won't work for me as most of what I'm sharing needs to be view-only. That 'Copy link' button on your screenshot only does 'Edit' by default, and to change it to 'view-only' just takes me into the settings which doesn't copy the link.

I do have a workaround though. I'm able to copy a 'view-only' link using the app on my phone. Then I send that link back to my laptop.

Thanks
Sean
