We'd like to allow users to edit and view files but not download content from Box.  What is the best way to do this at the user level?

    Hi Romel,

    Welcome to the Box Community!

    At this time it is not possible for users to be able to edit, view and restrict to download content from Box. But, it is possible with their permission level. 

    By setting the target user's permission level to anything under Editor, this will result in them not being able to download content. This also restricts editing on desktop (via Box Edit), print operation when editing in Microsoft Office Online, and print operation from Box Web App or browser.

    Although this feature isn't available, we are always looking for ways to improve our product. I encourage you to provide this feedback through our portal: pulse.box.com 

    Thank you for posting!

    Best,
    Ann
