Add Option to Prevent Doc Downloads and Block Screenshots/Screen Recording
Moyeen
Please add advanced security options for ClickUp Docs, including:
- “View-only” mode that prevents downloading and exporting documents
- Tools to block screenshots and screen recording on supported platforms
Why this matters:
- Sensitive info protection:Many of us share docs with external partners, clients, or consultants, and need to ensure files aren’t distributed.
- Limit unauthorized sharing:Preventing downloads is one step, but adding screenshot and screen recording blocks would make it much harder to leak confidential materials—just like most banking, financial, and HR software now do.
- Legal/data compliance:Certain industries require full control over digital information. This feature would help with legal and compliance requirements.
- Match industry standards:Platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, and even some banking/web-based apps now offer these controls.
Real-life example:
Recently, I shared a confidential proposal via ClickUp Doc. While I could set it to view-only, there was no way to prevent copy-paste, screenshots, or a quick screen recording—meaning the file could still leave our control.
What would be great:
- A “prevent download” and “block screenshots/screen recording” toggle in doc sharing settings
- Works on web and, where possible, mobile/desktop apps
- Uploaders control who can view, comment, edit, download, or capture the doc in any way
