Hello frankywhy ,

There are couple of options around this, it would require some configuration though, You can configure IRM on the corresponding document library where the files are stored:

Going forth, if you are sharing new files out of sharepoint, you can follow this approach:

If you would like to go deeper into managing your documents in terms of access, confidentiality, revocation etc., azure information protection is the way to go, AzureInformationProtection .

Also please check this link, you will have to play around creating a different permission level which is higher than view but lower then read, i haven't tested it but it might work out: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/disable-download-from-library-files-sharepoint/13ec163e-c163-406a-8b43-e6035c27e68c?page=-1

harveer singhYeah, Thanks.

So i find that is permission issue. If i set one of this permission on folder in site:

Restricted Read, View Only, Limited Access

I loose possibility to open office files (word, excel, powerpoint) in browser on mobile phone (safari, chrome). But on PC version (browser or inside teams tab) it can be opened.

I want to do not allow office files to be downloaded. With Read Permission it opens as should, but files can be dowloaded.

What do i do?

Cheers
