- Hi Eya_Design, thanks for providing these details!
The feature of disabling downloads on shared links is available for Dropbox Professional and Business plans.
Are you currently on a Dropbox Basic, Plus or Family plan?
This will help me to assist further!
Hi, Can someone help me with this issue I'm facing? I disabled download for a file which I want to share with some people, but even in incognito and logged into my different account I'm able to download the file.

I am having this same problem in July 2022. I have followed the Dropbox procedure to the letter, and it does not work. I have a Professional level subscription. I set up the permissions on a folder to share the link for viewing with Downloads Disabled and I save it. And when I share that link, the person is able to download every file in that folder. I have tried it several times - including by deleting and recreating the link. And it just doesn't work. This is VERY frustrating. I did a chat with Dropbox Support and they were unable to help. I really need an answer here. I should be able to share a folder where the person is able to view the files -- but not download it and not be able to share the link with others who are not invited by me. The Dropbox Settings appears to offer those features -- but they DO NOT WORK.

Hi Jonny_Liebs, I understand your frustration over this matter.
First of all, did you enable the option to invite specific members to the shared folder, as well as disabling downloads?
Could you attach a screenshot showing your link settings, while hiding any personal info?
