Is there a way to set a file to read-only?

pewill

My team is using Dropbox for creating and storing designs. A design is opened in Autodesk Inventor, and a design can exist out of a lot of components, and every component is a file. 

The design also contains components that are released and must keep secured, so I want to prevent editing and saving files. These files are saved in our 'Library folders'

For sure I can change the access of each team member for these folders from full access (write, edit) to read-only, but then they cannot change and store any file.

Is there  a possibility to: 1) set all files in a folder to read-only (for every-one) 2) when needed, an individual file can be set to write by every team member.

Is this possible?

Hi @pewill, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

You can use the file locking feature to lock individual files on your account. It can't be done in bulk to all files on a folder, however, you can do them manually.
