Hi @Walter

 

No, this is a letter sent anonymously to protect the tenants from individual retaliation. We don't want to transfer the videos to them and we have turned off their ability to download for the same reason. We only want them to have a clickable link to view.  What we would like from Dropbox is to be able to see each date and time that a clickable shared link has been viewed by a guest/recipient (i.e., anyone other than the Dropbox account owner). Sort of like a read receipt does in email.
