I would like to disable downloads automatically (via admin configuration) when a file is locked for edit.
Set the default behavior to disable download.

The current "locking" of files in my opinion is useless. If a user locks a file and marks it for disable download , any user with Co-Owner, Editor or Viewer/Uploader can unlock the file. This is really not very helpful or useful. What good is the Disable Download feature if a user can unlock the file? While instructing users to check for the Red Lock, so users do not unlock a file and/or writing a comment on the preview page may be helpful, it does not solve the issue. Only the Co-Owner or Owners should be able to unlock files not Editors or Viewer/uploaders - Even if they are collaborators in the same folder.
Further, why show users the option to choose the blue text "Lock file to prevent others from editing it" when this clearly does not happen?
Will you take a look at this request and provide some feedback, please?
