Share folders but not allow downloading

I would like to share a folder with my intern podcast, but I do not want people to download the files. Just listen to it. Does anybody know if this is posible?

Hi Monica Stubkjaer, welcome to our Community! 

 

You can't do this using a shared folder, but you can achieve to disable downloads if you use shared links. 

 

Keep in mind that if you're using a Basic account, that wouldn't be possible. You would be able to accomplish that with shared links, provided that you have a paid account. You can read more about this here.

 

I hope this helps!
