Prevent Downloading Content when Sharing Folders
With preview-only folder links, users can share the content of entire folders so that link recipients will be able to preview the content in the WebUI (browser) but will not be able to download it.
Availability
Preview-only folder links are available to Platform Enterprise, Egnyte Gov Enterprise, Life Sciences Professional, Document Room, Document Room Professional and GxP with Governance customers.
Limitations
Files for which no preview-only rendition is available won't be accessible to the user, but will still be visible in the folder structure. All such files will have an additional note under the file - “Unable to create a preview for this file”. A list of file formats and file sizes that can be previewed can be found here.
Inside the preview-only folder link, file preview thumbnails are disabled and replaced by icons representing file types - e.g. image, video, or document.
To create a preview-only folder link, users set "Allow downloads" to "No" in the "Share folder link" dialog options.
