Disable download feature after sharing dropbox link
I was wondering if I could upload a video and share with others the link but block their ability to download the video. Is anyone familiar with this?
- Hi omashakaren - I just did a Google search and found that Dropbox Professional and Business customers can disable downloads for a shared link (and also set passwords and expiration dates for those links)... but evidently dropbox wants us to pay for those features? I'm guessing that's what it takes to become a Professional or Business customer. $200/year seems like a lot to disable downloads... sigh.
I agree that this is a sorely-needed feature. Dave is correct that it could be screen-capped, but that's pretty unlikely for most people.
I'd go a step further and say "one play" or "three plays" being possible. This could be used (by business, which is my use-case) to display a video to a customer, but practically prevent even video capture, since it will only play once.
This can be used for sensitive/confidential materials, like a pre-release demo of a product, preliminary screening of a commercial/etc.
