    Welcome to our Community, einav co!

     

    At the moment, the option to disable downloads on shared links is available only to customers on Dropbox Professional, Essentials, Standard, Advanced, Business, Business Plus, and Enterprise.

     

    If you share the file any other way, your recipients will be able to download it.

     

    I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but let me know if you have any questions.
