I'd like to be able to change the permissions on all shared links at the same time.

import a feature that changes the permissions of all the shared links simultaneously
I'm having a hard time changing the validity of each link, and it's really tiring. This feature would be a miracle for me, it would make things easier. I want all the links. Anyone with the link can watch the video, but unfortunately some links are team-only, and I have to change their validity for whoever has the link. I hope you make this feature available. I have thousands of links, and I have to change them all, and it's very tiring.

Hey @mhmoudlotfy! Thanks for posting this on our forum.

Just to have a clearer image of how this feature would work, can you clarify a few things for me first?

First off, I understand you want this to work for Dropbox teams, correct?

Also, do you mean that you’d like to change the permissions of all existing shared links from team-only to anyone with the link at once?

Let me know more details.

Yes, I want to change the link permissions at once, so that anyone with the link can play the video. Currently, I have to enter each link to change permissions, which is unfortunately very cumbersome for me. This feature will help me a lot. Thank you very much for your efforts and for developing the site. Good luck to everyone.
This video explains what I mean.

I do not understand. Do you mean that it depends on voting for this feature to be implemented? What does he have to do for voting to be implemented, because I do not understand how it works?
