Ability to have option to enable/disable documents download

Currently, when files are sahred, the file can be downloaded by everyone who got shared with that specific document. 

However, there are certain times that we would not want the files to be shared. 

Thus, it would be great if we have an option to disable the documents to be dounloaded. 

Mises à jour HubSpot
Statut mis à jour : In Planning
November 10, 2025 11:48 AM

Hello from the Sales Hub team. We are actively planning to add a toggle to disable document downloads. The idea is that we would add this toggle during Sales Document link creation so that the ability to download can be controlled at the link-level rather than strictly at the document level. I will provide an update once this feature is available.

 

Thank you for your continued feedback.

 

Sincerely,Ryan

In 2023, I would love to see this option! I feel like this is very much needed. Sometimes we have documents that we do not want to be downloaded. 

 

Who does everyone use instead of HubSpot for documents like this? I want to be able to track and not have people download the PDF.

Safe to say they are never going to do it. I dont know why... it is a tiny lift. Should be very little code, yet they've ignored it for years.

Must have! Considering switch to another CRM because the lack of this (simple) function and the fact that this has been upvoted for years now.

Any update on this?  This would be super helpful.  Just like there is an option to ask for email address to view, would be great to also have option to enable or disable ability to download presentation

Still so frustrated by the lack of this SIMPLE function !! Wasting so much
time here. Each time I need to integrate such a doc (and it happens a lot),
I can't help thinking that Hubspot does not listen to its users... Could
make me switch.

We ended up going with a different file company because of this reason. We use CloudFiles, and they have been really nice so far. It also has an App you can connect to in HubSpot. Just a recommendation.

This is such a good example of a large company that gets too large and stops listening (and even responding to) users.  There's great metrics in here that should be more public about the number of people (users) who have requested something with no rationale from Hubspot for why it's not added. A great case study!

Any potential to raise this again @glencornell? I've come across another client using CloudFiles instead of HubSpot's native docs (mentioned at least once in this thread) and this idea is still getting weekly support 6 years after it was registered.

@glencornell yes, pleeeeaaase! 🙏

We're forced to use docsend because we can't let people download. I know product features have to always be regression tested and secure etc. but doesn't seem like heavy lift compared to value this would bring to so many people!

We definitely need this feature. It is an obvious one. Please implement this.

Bumping this! It's super important to understand who else is viewing the documents.

Je suis 100% d'accord, pour nous iol est important que nos documents soit lisible mais essentiel aussi qu'il ne soit pas téléchargeable ou imprimable. Nous aimerions pouvoir analyqser qui regarde nos documents sans se soucier du plagia. Quitte à ce que le client face un demande pour être téléchargé que nous accepterons au cas par cas.

Pensez-vous que c'est dans les tuyaux pour le 1er semestre 2024 ?

very simple and very useful!
i would help hubspot in a direct comparison against Docsend

We need to restrict some documents from being downloaded locally in certain situations.  Our teams share some docs that are perfectly fine to be shared throughout their teams while others are more sensitive and require a more limited circle of sharing.  

We are hacking it by using (and paying for) DocSend (by Dropbox) and sharing the link via HubSpot to maintain some level or trackability, but would save us time, effort, and money to have this feature added to Documents.

This is an important feature, especially for startups on HubSpot that want to share investor Decks with a larger audience.

1,000,000 UpVotes from StartUps.

My BrandLens team is still using it as is but is about to start using DocuSend.
