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?

The default setting for linksharing in the app ( android) is to let the recipient edit.

 

As a business user I don't want third parties to be able to edit when sharing documentation to them.

 

Is there a way to set the default to view-only again?

 

I don't want me or colleagues to make mistakes.

 

Thanks!
