Hi @lafillette2, let's jump right into this! 

 

I'm afraid that this isn't an option, if you're using a Basic plan. 

 

It all depends on how you wish to share your file, and your plan. If you're on a paid plan, you can use a shared link, and disable downloads using these steps. 

 

I hope this helps!

Thank you! Would it work on the next plan up work? I guess that would be the standard plan?

You have the option to disable downloads on any paid plan. Dropbox Plus is the lowest paid plan for an individual. Standard is a Business plan, meant for teams of three or more.
