Sending a link to a video without allowing editing

I want to share a video link with a non-dropbox member.  When I send the link the recepient has the ability to edit the video.  How do I send the video without allowing changes?

Hi Здравко ,

 

Sadly that setting doesnt propagate to the mobile app:

 

Bewerken = editing

weergave = viewing

 

The app, when you want to share alway highlights the editing option. This has been the case for a few weeks now.

Opps...😯 It appears to get up something strange.

Andrew_VM  You probably just flagged up a new bug in Dropbox. I tried opposite to get back to edit link (I set them long time ago to be view only), but it doesn't work for some reason (not only on mobile devices, but online view as well as on desktop application). 🤫 Let's see how long will take Dropbox to fix it.
