View-only link access (prevent download)
Hello,
A drive link version with view-only access is an essential and attainable feature. This is paramount for one-time actions, such as ID verification, where a file must be marked 'verified' by the recipient, but need not be saved.
Yes, the file may be captured as a screenshot, and processed thereafter, but this effort and lower resolution will discourage those who may absentmindedly download the file to keep 'a copy on hand', with no thought to its security.

There are SEVERAL posts that all mention preventing downloads. Please have someone go through and combine all of these into one!! They aren't getting enough traction because it's split, but this is a key feature to implement on products you already have! Please prioritize functionality of current products over launching new ones.

Upvoted! Privacy is a key term for Proton. There are so many times I share something and it's automatically downloaded on someone's phone. Let's prevent that!

Yes, please! It's basic and has been available on Google Drive for a while now.

Bumping this request. This is essential for certain industries that need to share demos of files (stream only / view only) and not allowing a direct download of the audio/video file for custody of the copyright material being pitched.
