I already created a link for a folder containing multiple files and I need to keep that link but change the setting for it from edit to view only.  How do I do that?  Thanks in advance.

Thanks for posting here, @RandyBus

 

Unfortunately, this isn’t possible at the moment. 

 

If you already have a shared link with edit permissions for your folder, and you need a link with view-only permissions instead, then you’ll need to create a new one

 

If you don’t wish anyone to be able to edit your files after that, you'll have to delete the original shared link. 

 

Hope this clarifies things a bit.
