One-Time link share

Is there a way to only let a person download a file (pdf) once only and not be able to download it again?

Hi TylerTheHanson, have you checked this article to see what features Dropbox Transfer offers and if they may be useful for your requirements?

Unfortunately, no. The one-time use links are what would be an absolute deal maker, moreso than expiration links alone, and analytics would seal the deal.

Any plans for those features for better file sharing?
