Email Address Privacy Toggle Switch for Shared Folders for Users That Only Have the Ability to View
When you "share a folder" all users of that folder can see all of the other users email addresses. This is privacy issue. If I give 500 people the ability to "view" but not "edit" the folder, I don't...

Indeed, anyone with access to the shared link, can re-share it with others, if you're on our Dropbox Basic or Plus plans.
Users on our Dropbox Professional and Business plans, have access to additional features, such as expiration dates for the links or the ability to disable downloads.
You can read more about those here.
You're always free to delete the shared link, though, to stop people from accessing the content.
Thanks for the reply...but this still isn't a good solution. It just seems like Dropbox should have a feature that hides the email addresses when a user just has the ability to "view" a shared folder. It really doesn't seem like it is that complicated of a feature to implement, especially for a person's privacy.
Right now I have a "shared folder" that over 600 people have access to. I just don't want the users to see each other emails. If I create a link with an expiration date, then that user will lose access to the contents after that date. I will have to keep recreating the link with farther out expiration dates as more people have access. If I add a password to the shared link, the password really does nothing in the ability of someone sharing the contents with others. If someone is going to share the link, they will also just share the password (does Netflix come to mind?).
