How to generate a one-time use link for downloads?

Hi, 

 

 

I am trying to use Dropbox as my image server and connect it to woocommerce. That part is fine, but I cannot prevent the link from being shared with others who didn't buy the product. Do you know how I can do this? 

Would love some assistance on this 

 

Kind regards

    Hi Taraobservatory 

    Simply put you cannot - Dropbox doesnt have such a feature. It isnt intended or designed as a sales or content distribution tool and program. 

     

    You would be much better off finding and using a tool designed to do this instead of trying to shoehorn Dropbox into doing it.

      Thank you for the straight answer. I believe made a mistake in purchasing dropbox for this purpose.
