    Hey Highdiver, if you may allow me just a shot in the dark, I’d like to ask you if you had upgraded your account in the past, as your description matches the Viewer info feature for shared files, which is available for Professional & Business Advanced/ Education & Enterprise users. 
     
    Please keep me updated on how this hint works for you in your next message & I’ll do my best to check back with you on this discussion. Thanks!

Hey teamyell, thanks for joining our Community!

 

Are you referring to files you've shared with other people?

 

If so, you can access certain info, depending on your Dropbox plan, using our viewer info feature.

 

You can read more about this here.

 

The events page will show you all events that happened in your account, which include files/folders added/edited/deleted.

 

I hope this helps!
