Choose file from chooser and share it with specific people (email id) with view only permission

Hello,

 

I want to achieve a solution for a specific condition.

I want to integrate chooser API so that users can choose specific files and then internally through programming I need to share it with specific people (with their dropbox email id) and giving them view only permission and not giving them download permission.

 

Any kind of help will be really appreciated.

It sounds like there are two pieces to this:

1) The ability to have Dropbox send the shared link to another Dropbox user: The Dropbox Chooser doesn't offer this, but I'll pass this along as a feature request. As a workaround, you'd need to send an email (or use whatever sharing mechanism you wish) from your app itself.

2) The ability to set shared links returned by the Chooser to disallow downloads: The Dropbox Chooser also doesn't offer this, and we'll consider this a feature request as well.
