Use this interactive demo to learn how to remove shared view links from your Dropbox account.

Quick summary

Deleting a viewed link in Dropbox lets you revoke access to previously shared files or folders in seconds. Navigate to the Shared Links section, locate the file, and use the Delete link option to immediately disable access.


Steps

  1. Log in to your Dropbox account, then click on Shared in the left sidebar.
  2. Go to Links to view all your shared links.
  3. Find the file or folder that you've shared and want to disable the link for.
  4. Right-click (or click the three dots next to the file or folder) and select Delete view link.
  5. Click Delete link to remove or disable the shared link, preventing further access to files or folders you've previously shared.

📌 Why this matters

Controlling access to shared files is critical for data security and privacy. Dropbox's Delete view link feature allows users to instantly revoke shared link access without deleting the file itself, giving teams precise control over who can view sensitive content. This is especially valuable for businesses managing client documents, confidential reports, or time-sensitive materials where access needs to be terminated after a deadline or project ends. Knowing how to delete viewed links on Dropbox ensures your shared content never stays exposed longer than intended.
