Some institutions do not allow users to download content shared with them by another user. This content resides in the Shared with me tab of their Library page.
If shared content downloads are disabled, users can view the shared content item but cannot download the file(s) comprising it.
Shared content downloads are enabled by default but can be disabled at the institution level; it cannot be set at the organization, department, or section level.
To disable downloads of shared content across the institution

From the Settings menu, select Institution Settings.
General settings appears and Basic Info is selected by default.
- Select Section Features.

Download functionality is now disabled for all content in the users' Shared with me tab of their Library page. This has no effect on content they own, which resides in the My Content tab of the Library page. It also has no effect on whether content can be downloaded from a Class List. See Enable / Disable Class Content Downloads if necessary.
