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.

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!
