Can we allow external users to download PDFs but prevent them from downloading Videos?
Eilaf-Barmare I tested your solution, now when i shared the Videos Library with an external user with Restricted Read permission, the user will get this error
"Sorry, you don't have access."
john john You can also create a custom permission level, name it "view without download" and save it. While sharing the files or library, share it from advanced permissions settings page (classic permission page) and select the custom permission level "view without download". Try this, it should fix your problem.

Eilaf-Barmare, for me its working
Eilaf-Barmarethere is not any permission level to prevent downloading .. can you elaborate more?
- I do not think it is possible to restrict download settings based on the file types. This was the reason we suggested to create separate libraries for separate use case, that is (Lib A: To restrict Download and Lib B to contribute). Thanks 🙂
Eilaf-Barmarecreating 2 lib are fine with me, but what is the custom permission settings needed?
