Is it possible to see the download history for my files and folders?
Does anybody know if it's possible to see download history, who got my files from our folders ?

6 years agoHi Dorado Global, thanks for contacting us!
Are you referring to users downloading files from shared folders which are on their Dropbox account, or shared links which are accessible via the site?
This will help me assist further!

How can I see which of the users who have a common downloaded the entire folder or file?

It isn't possible to see which user downloaded a file, unless you're on a Dropbox Business team on the Advanced plan, which breaks down more information in the activity logs.

Hello, I have the same question. For shared links that people will use to download files from our dropbox. Can we see at least the number of downloads or a log with all the downloads (date, time) of that specific folder or file that was shared via a link?
Thank you

Dropbox does not have metrics like this I'm afraid.
You can see some info at http://www.dropbox.com/events about when files were edited, or, if you've a business account https://help.dropbox.com/organize/file-activity
