    1. Can edit allows those who click on the link the ability to edit the file(s)

    2. Can view allows those who click on the link only view access; they cannot edit the file(s)

  6. Then you will see Block download as a final option. When sharing files online, always remember that restricting downloads isn’t always a foolproof security tool.
    For example, if you share a word document, even with view-only access, a user may simply highlight all of the text and copy-paste it into their own document. The user hasn’t downloaded a file from you, but they have obtained its information.

If you send the link to specific recipients, they cannot share the link without your permission. You will receive an email message with a request to share the file with others and have the option to accept or decline.
