Only a watermark will 'protect' your images from copying or screen-grab.

1) Do a 'Custom' export of the photos.  Resize and add a Watermark.

2) Import (Add) these photos with the watermark to share from Lightroom.

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Exactly... But it's possible do this without export and import? And if not, it's a good idea for further development? Don't you think?

In the album share settings menu, there is the option to NOT allow downloads. The client can still comment/like the images, but cannot download if that option is disabled.

Ok but, a smart user can make a screenshot of the photo and print them?
