Can I change the way I view shared links?

Hello,

Is there anyway to remove the top navigation when opening a share link? I'd just like to view the document and none of the dropbox embeddeed.

Thanks!

Hi AEC_IT, thanks for messaging the Community!

You can preview the file on the site without the Dropbox buttons by changing the end of the shared link from dl=0 to raw=1

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

  Thanks Jay! That was easy!! In the future are these typical HTML code?

    Glad to hear it helps!
    
    It's not exactly the same as HTML code, but it's more of a Dropbox feature, since it also allows users to download files directly by changing the ending of the URL.
