Prevent download and print option for all files in a folder in SharePoint document library.
In the document library, I have different folders and every folder contains excel, word and pdf files. I want to restrict the download and print option when I'm sharing a folder with an external user, I don't want to share the files individually with the block download, I have to share the whole folder. Is it possible to restrict the download and print options while sharing the entire folder, and if yes, who does it? Please help me. PLEASE.

iDevd you have to "play" with custom SharePoint permission to achieve that.
High-level solution:
- create a custom permission level in your SharePoint site
- create a SharePoint group ad assign the custom permission level
- Add the external users in the SharePoint group which have limited action
As starting point for creating your custom level permission, you may refer to the following article: "Restricted View" and/or Preventing Download of Documents - Microsoft Community
