Hey edumassu, do you mean the second icon on the right, as shown on your screenshot above?

Thanks for the reply, 

 

Yes, the icon I would like to eliminate is the second from right to left, it is a chain (so other users can have the link), for me the best scenario will be to have an embebed frame without the download and share link icons, this way I can make sure the average user can view the files, but can not download or share with other people.

 

Thanks in advance for your response,

    Hi edumassu 

     

    I'd seriously suggest considering not using Dropbox as a sharing tool for a website. Its simply not designed or intended for this and Dropbox have, in the past, done things which have actively broken websites which host stuff. There are also very strict bandwidth limits on plans which cannot be removed if they are hit (i.e. you are banned from sharing for a time). 

     

    You would be MUCH better using a proper hosting site and tool and then you'd not need to have the iFrames etc. trying to lock and restrict the files.
