Hi, 

When I only have viewer permission, would it be possible to open the file?Or I only can view the file icon? Thanks

👋 Hi ​@ektrontek, welcome to the Box Community!

 

Yes, if you have viewer permission, you can open the file and download it if needed.

A viewer has read access to a folder or file. Once invited to a folder, the viewer is able to preview, download, make comments, and generate shared links. The viewer is not able to add tags, invite new collaborators, edit shared links, upload, edit files, or delete items in the folder.

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. 😊


When i open file icon, the file open button is disabled status. Does it mean i don’t have permission ? Thanks.  The screenshot is only example, not real one.
