Hi David131, you could try adding your mp4 files in a shared folder, and then sharing the folder directly to the people that need to access it.
However, in this scenario, people would need to have a Dropbox account, in order to access the content. You can do this using any kind of plan.
Now, if you wish to use shared links, then keep in mind that what applies on the Professional plan, applies to the Business ones too.
We don't have a specific plan, that allows you to share links, entirely privately, other than what you already know about password restriction.

Thanks for your reply, Megan.
Yes, I am referring to shared links.
Could you please clarify for me whether or not the Professional plan on Dropbox has the option to share mp4 files on a private setting only with selected viewers who are outside the account so that they cannot share the mp4 files on a private setting with a third party? If this is not an option on the Professional plan, could you kindly recommend an alternative plan on Dropbox which does?
