Hey Husky_H, thanks for taking the time to post to our Community.
The "send & track" feature is kind of different to sharing files through Dropbox shared links.
With shared links, you can have the permissions you mentioned (disabling downloads for the links, setting expiration dates and adding passwords).
You can also send entire folders, not just files.
These options don't exist for the "send & track" feature.
You can read more about shared links here and about the "send & track" feature here.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Hello again. And thanks for this.
Do you have any tricks for tracking?
Maybe i can send a single file or photo for staff to click on which inlcludes the LINK to the rest of the files, perhaps??
It's a real issue, not being able to track a link to a folder.
What do you suggest as a clever workaround?
