Deactivate download functionality

Share assets while preventing users from downloading or sharing them.

Who can use this?

Plans:

  • Brandfolder

Permissions:

  • Owners

  • Admins

Find out if this capability is included in Smartsheet Regions or Smartsheet Gov.

Collections mentioned in this article refer to a Brandfolder feature. For collections in Smartsheet, see the Collections in workspaces overview.

You can share assets without allowing users to download or share them by creating read-only Brandfolder collections or share links. Users must request access to assets, which Admins then approve. Once approved, users receive a download link.

Owners and Admins can enable the request download functionality.  

Deactivate download functionality on a share link

1. Within your Brandfolder, select the assets you want to share.

2. Select Share.

3. Toggle on Disable Download Functionality (view only mode).

4. Copy the link to the asset. 

Deactivate download functionality from the share link experience

  1. Users see an option for Prepare Request when interacting with an asset. 
  2. Once they select Prepare Request, Admins on that Brandfolder receive an email with a link to a Download Access Request. 
  3. Select the assets you want to approve and type a message to your user.
  4. Select Approve. 
  5. The user receives an email with a link to download your assets.

Deactivating download functionality on a Collection

  2. Enable View Only.
  3. Now, Guest users with access to the specific Collection see a View Only version that doesn't allow downloading assets. 
  4. Guest users must select and prepare a request to email to Brandfolder's Admins.
