Restricting Access to Linked Attachments?

JenD

In a sheet that I created and shared with other users, does every user have access to be able to open/view attachments linked to some rows if the user I shared the sheet with doesn't have access to the document in the original application (ie, Dropbox)? If so, is there a way to restrict access to the sheet attachments for some users, but not all?

Hi @JenD

I hope you're well and safe!

If you're using a 3rd-party service like Dropbox, they would have the same access as it's set in Dropbox.

Would that work?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Thanks very much @Andrée Starå

Just to be sure I understand......If I share a Smartsheet with 4 people and the sheet has attachments linked from Dropbox, all 4 people would see the data input directly on the sheet, but only the people with access to the originating Dropbox folder would be able to open or see the attachments?
