    Oh, great!

    Almost double the price to download my own activity log?

    Would never think that access to my own information would be a premium feature.

    Makes sense, amazing plans design!

    Best!

Just to make sure that I have a visual of this, could you send me a screenshot of what you see? 

 

Thanks again, Eduardo Tosto!

Hi @Lusil,

I've just used the chat help and found that what I want is the events log.

As it seems it is impossible to get the complete team activity record in a CSV file.

That's what I was looking for.

 

It's a shame because the desktop app shows to me this information in real-time, but I cannot download it.

Would you have any suggestions?

Best!

    Hey Eduardo; how are you today?

     

    I'm sorry to jump in here; I just wanted to mentioned that you don't get file-related actions in your activity report because you're on the Standard plan.

     

    As per the relevant documentation, if you are the admin of a team on an Advanced or Enterprise Dropbox Business plan, you can view all file-related actions on your team. File-level activity includes adding, editing, moving, and deleting files. 

     

     

    I hope this clarifies matters and let us know if you have any more questions.
