Single File Collaboration - Preview Permission
The current implementation of Single File Collaboration is lacking the Preview permission.
As organizations transition to the single file model, the functionality should align to the folder permission model as closely as possible to maintain ease of use and consistency within the application.
The current behavior is to set the permission to Editor and require the user to navigate to multiple windows to downgrade rights to Viewer. The Viewer role still allows content to be downloaded to a local machine.
We request Preview rights so that functionality like Watermarking can still be leveraged and to minimize data spillage.

I got this requirements many time from customers who need to share sensitive content (e.g. bid proposal). The workaround is to create a new folder, move the file to it and invite people as previewer. It means a lot of clicks.
