What plan do I need to make sure my client can't download/share my shared link files?
Im new to this! How, and on what subscription levels, can you disable everything except viewing for all shared links? Is this possible? I want to share my files, but i don't want the client to be abl...
HI JoRo2, to answer your question, you can disable downloads on shared links for Dropbox Professional, Essentials, Standard, Advanced, Business, Business Plus, and Enterprise plans.
The only way to 'disable sharing' in the way you're describing would be to share the file to that user directly. However, this would mean that they are able to download the file, since it isn't shared as a link.

Super User IIIt doesn't mention anything about disabling the ability to reshare for example
Ah, apologies, I thought you meant to disable download and then reshare that file.
It simply isnt possible - on any service if we are going to be honest. Its dead easy for a person to just share the link to others, or, even if it was password protected the link and password.
what do you mean its not infallible? does it tend to not work well in dropbox?
It doesnt work on ANY service. Its dead easy to use screengrab tools etc. to take a copy of a file, or, there are some sites you can use to get around restrictions on website download blocks (genuinely not sure if they are available for here or not).
However, what I would say is if the work is confidential regardless of what/where you use becareful - if somebody wants to share it, they will.
or is something like vimeo better value for these kinds of options
