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.

You can disable download. But you cannot disable or limit what people do with that link. So if you sent a link to me there is nothing, at all, you could do to stop me sending it to Rich, as an example.
lol i get that. that is not what i am asking. i am simply asking about the features on dropbox!! Can you disable download and disable sharing - i.e. not offer these features right in front of people's faces to encourage them to do so!! if so, on which plan! It's really simple question, but people are obsessed with answering outside of what dropbox can do. I am only interested in what dropbox encourages people to do and if you can turn them off!

Ive answered it.
You cannot disable that option.
The button is still visible.
You cannot make it go away.
Thank you! You kept talking about what others can do on the sly with links, which wasn't what I was asking. Thank you for now answering. That's all I wanted to know!
