Prevent shared files from being downloaded
I think it would be great if there was some setting to turn download's of a shared file or folder ON\OFF... what I mean is suppose I want to share a File\Folder with someone, I would only want them to be able to view\edit it online and not be able to download it onto their computer.. to take this idea further, it could also be helpful if you could prevent copying content from shared files... the download permission could probably be visible once a user decides to share a particular file with someone

We’ve rolled out an update which includes support for PDF files, images, audio and other file formats. This update doesn’t yet include support for video files but we’re working on it and will have more to share soon!

agree, This feature is needed for business. It would/could prevent employees down load data with PHI/PII content to there personal computer or a kiosks.

I stopped using OneDrive when I realized that my photos could be downloaded. Very misleading.

How about the opposite? I want to allow someone to download my photos but not to edit my OneDrive originals. Is that possible? View only doesn't seem to allow downloads.

Same, hope that feature would be available soon. Very critical feature.

It certainly cannot be construed as secure or view only when you can download the file edit it and then share it with any one you want - when you have set the file permissions for view only. Does not compute.

That should be an available option.

Yes this would be awesome. like google drive, and Dropbox for business. We have the option to share files in time frame and only for viewing- no downloading or printing- the function to simply look at it - approve or capture the idea. Please consider Thanks
