Re: view only link for everyone says Join Folder, Copy to Dropbox, Download. I DON'T want Join Folder.
Problem:
The "Join Folder" button creates too many emails when our clients click on it. It also creates confusion on their side. Should they Join? Should they Download? Why haven't we allowed them to join?
It wasn't like that for many years, the sudden change is disrupting our workflow.
Solutions:
- [preferred] There is a toggle in settings to disallow Join and Download, split the toggle in two, so we can allow Download and hide Join
- Remove the Join Folder button from view-only links
See the multitude of people wanting this to work: https://www.dropboxforum.com/t5/Create-upload-and-share/view-only-link-for-everyone-says-Join-Folder-Copy-to-Dropbox/m-p/734886#M78631
The post marked as a solution isn't a solution.
This issue should be fixed as soon as possible, it's frustrating our clients and our whole team. Our team is starting to demand us using another provider.
Dropbox, please, please fix this.
