Disable download, Save As and copy option in sheets

Disable download, Save As and copy option in sheets

Hi I am a free tier user.

I was just testing out Zoho sheets for my use case. I wish to move my data from Google sheets to Zoho sheets.

The problem is when I share a sheet with view access only to other user who has a private email like gmail, hotmail etc. They get the option to Save as, Download as and Print. Which should not be there in the once I've given them view access only.

Also the user can go in edit and use the copy function to copy a particular cell.

Even though I've locked the whole sheet still these options are available to the View only user which makes the data prone to theft.

Is there a way to disable these options and secure our data.

I've followed all the guides and stuff online related to this but not able to find a solution.
