Read about the issues of disabling upload and download. But no details on how to actually do it. I need some direction on how to disable the upload and download buttons.

I’m pretty sure that’s coming in the next release. I think you can currently set max download sizes to 0 to effectively disable downloads (i.e., you can’t download anything larger than 0 bytes). But disabling these entirely is a feature in the next release.

1,000 apologies for this, but this was in the 3.1 release. Release notes have it, but not on the customization page where I went looking for it.
