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 know that it can be - I know how to do this too.. but not everybody know and not all will bother to do this..
The level of difficulty of stealing from internet can be set by "disable download" feature.
There is no excuse for servis like Dropbox to have a lack of it.
If you do business with some particular clients - you should not think that they will use some tools to stream and record or screen capture or whatever..
They should be able to read, see or listen but that is all - no download.
Without this function I don't think that I will be a Dropbox user, I will find some other servis.
