Download file vs Save as Shared Folder

In a shared folder admin will be notified if file is downloaded by pressing the download button within dropbox, but does right click/save as do the same?

Hi there MHP86, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

 

When you say admin, are you referring to a team admin on a team Dropbox account or maybe to the owner of a shared folder?

 

Let us know and we'll take it from there.

    Hi Walter,

     

    I'd say the Folder Owner.


    That would also mean team admin I assume?

      This would depend on the accounts you're using MHP86 

       

      Are you all part of the same Dropbox for Business teams account or are you all using individual accounts?
