View, download, and export

I use Mighty Networks as a platform for my workhshops and love that I can drop the link into the classroom area and easily add videos from Dropbox which students watch right in the lesson. The issue is I do not want anyone to download the videos, but I do want them to watch the embedded content. If I disable download in the shared link, the video will not play. If I embed without, anyone watching can download or share the video. At least youtube prevents people downloading, but not sharing. I really need this to work. I have the professional plan. Does the business plan offer this? Dropbox is one of the few places I can store videos that embed directly in Mighty Networks.
Hey there @Carolinej, thanks for reaching out to us.
If you disable downloads for a shared link, users won't be able to download the content from Dropbox, but they should be able to preview it.
This is available currently for Dropbox Professional and Business subscriptions.
For this reason, could you clarify what happens when others try to preview the videos while you have the option to Disable downloads enabled?
Keep me posted, cheers!
