If your default is set to create a Can Edit link, people could be clicking the Join Folder button which would prompt you to approve the access.
Go into your account settings and change What people can do to Can View.
All the text in the sharing settings on the file says "view" so I didn't even consider there might be an account setting overriding that. It seems strange to set that per account and not per file. I believe it used to be per file. I changed the setting to "view" so hopefully that fixes it. Thanks!
