View shared items without option to download
When I want to share a folder or file with another Proton Drive user I can either put in their user info for them to access it or I can send them the link. When they get it, they can go into their Drive and see my share in their "Sharing" section and they can view it without downloading. I'd also like to see restrictions where i can make my file/folder viewable only and they can't download it.
I think the current way of sharing, where they have to download it makes my information very insecure. Because the shares always have to live on their computer as a download. So I guess more like Dropbox functionality.

Please add possibility to have read-only access to publicly shared folders = allow visitors to view documents,photos,videos on the web, but forbid the download them.

Agree that sharing a link that anyone with the link can access is not secure. Should be more access control like sharing to another proton driver user and only that user can access the shared file. Maybe the file can show up in there drive as a shared file.

Hello,
This is a great idea, I really need this too!
Thank you for sharing it.
Best regards, -

I need to be able to share photos and videos without letting the user download them, this should be a share link option. This obviously requires the feature of a media preview within ProtonDrive so that the user can see the photos or videos without being able to download them

The following basic feature should be added to Proton Drive asap, other users have been requesting the same via other forums for a very long time: Disabling downloads for a shared link prevents people from downloading the contents of a link through Proton Drive.
Recipients can preview the file on Proton Drive, but the Download button will be grayed out and won’t be clickable. If a recipient hovers over Download button, they’ll see “Downloads disabled.”If previews aren’t supported for type of file you’re sharing, you’ll see the error “[file type] files can’t be previewed.

Would like administrative control such that individuals with a share link cannot download a file - Creating a view only option for files where Proton Drive has preview capacity.
