How can I prevent access to my link from third parties?
I have an animation represented by a link in Dropbox. I have included the link in some documents and have sent it to a few powple. I am afraid that some of these people may resend the document to other people who I don't even know. How can I prevent/restrict these third parties receiving the document, highjack the link and add it to one of their own documents?
Thank you for any help.

Hey Etzel, thanks for posting your query to the Dropbox Community.
While you can't prevent someone with access to your link to access the content, depending on your Dropbox plan, there are some permissions you can set:
- You can password-protect the link
- You can disable downloads for the content of the link
- And you can set an expiration date
You can read more about this here.
Let me know if you have any questions.
