Permissions

6 Topics

I'd like to be able to change the permissions on all shared links at the same time.
import a feature that changes the permissions of all the shared links simultaneously I'm having a hard time changing the validity of each link, and it's really tiring. This feature would be a miracle for me, it would make things easier. I want all the links. Anyone with the link can watch the video, but unfortunately some links are team-only, and I have to change their validity for whoever has the link. I hope you make this feature available. I have thousands of links, and I have to change them all, and it's very tiring.

Restrict changes to top level folders while allowing changes to lower level folders
We have numerous incidents where a team member accidentally changes a high-level folder (rename, move, delete, etc) causing a cascade of sync problems and stalling the projects for hours. If certain folders could be restricted to read-only while still allow the child-folders to be editable by members, that would be extremely helpful.

Possibility to activate default expiration date for shared links.
I would like to have the option to set a default expiry date for links to shared files. Intention is to increase the security of my files. I sent email with Dropbox link to the file, but by default, the shared link is valid indefinitely. It would be better to set (i.e. 'Settings > Shared' section) ON/OFF 'set default expiration period for shared links'. I could choose from a dropdown 1-30 days for instance. It would be great to automate all sharing and increase security. I don't want my link to be active in someone's inbox(email) forever. And deactivation (unsharing) previously shared old links manually is a waste of time.

Allow us to see all the folders a user has access to and easily remove them from member.
Currently you can see who are the shared people in a folder or file. We need to be able to select a person and see the folders and files they have access to, and then obviously un-share from there. Not being able to manage this easily is a significant security risk.

Restrict access to folders within a shared folder
There is a real need for setting folder access restrictions within a shared parent folder. We have several folders shared across teams that occasionally requires specific subfolders to be limited to one team or select employees and there is not way to accomplish this without moving the subfolder to a completely separate parent folder, disrupting our workflows.

Adding more options for folder permissions aside from "Can edit" and "Can view"
Similarly to how local network drives allow for specific permissions, I wish Dropbox had more granular permissions other than Can View & Can Edit. For instance, a user in our company has been accidentally moving, duplicating, and in very rare instances, been deleting files and folders from other user's projects. Thankfully folder activity exists so we can see who was responsible and when it happened, but I would still love to be able to restrict users from doing certain actions in specific folders. Especially for those files you don't want deleted or moved.
