Help - need to share files privately - group members want to be anonymous
How can I share a document with a group of people and not have each member of the group see the other members? I have a very large file I need comments on - but my group members do not want to share ...
- I want to clarify something...
The suggestion I made did NOT involve a share link to the file (though share links are discussed on the same help article that I referenced). When you select a file and click share you now have two options; creating a link or inviting someone to the file. I am referring to inviting someone to the file. This is done in a way that is similar to a shared folder. An invitation to view the file is sent to the person and only that person can see it.

How can I do this so the people I invite cannot download the document, they can only view the document and comment on it? Thank you again for your help!Hello, ioa...
Unfortunately you cannot prevent people from downloading files (view this Forum post).
However, you could consider protecting your sensitive documents to be read-only by assigning a password to prevent modifications. It's not a perfect solution but it can be effective (view search).

As it is a very large file and I have 20 members, I prefer not to set up 20 separate shared folders and use up that much space if I don't have to.
Hello...
In case you're interested to learn more about my preferred method to use Dropbox's sharing a LINK to a Folder/File, please refer to my old forum post to test-drive how sharing a link is viewed by your recipients.
In addition, it explains the differences between Dropbox's two sharing methods and offers a few other sharing tips.
