Can I prevent people from seeing the email addresses of others, when using a shared folder?

[Peter R.42]

Hi - I want to use DB for a data room on a transaction, but my partner is resisting because he says that when he used it on another occasion, everyone who accessed the folder was able to see the email addresses of everyone else who had accessed it, which is obviously a problem in a confidential transaction.

My questions are (I) is he correct that this is even possible, and (ii) if it is, how do I turn off that feature so that it doesn't happen? (I'm using DropBox basic but please advise if features are different for paid plans)

Thanks

Hey @Peter R.42 - this is a setting in Folder Setting called 'Viewer info'. You'll need to turn it off for each folder you want to share

Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but I thought that there's no way to disable this on a shared folder?

Does turning off Viewer Info actually hide all members of a shared folder from each other, or does it just hide the ability to see who is viewing files within the folder?
