How can I share a link, but make sure no one can delete any of my files?

I want to send a link to share a folder but I also want to ensure write/ delete protection on all files in the respective folder. Can I set a password to dis-enable deletion of a file? Cheers Quant

    Hi Quant, in order for you to be able to view the link the way others would, make sure to use an incognito tab on your browser, where you're not logged into your account.

     

    If you need anything else, just give me a shout. Enjoy the rest of your day! 😊
