To use Activity for this isn't a great solution. What ScruffyDan is looking for is a simple report that shows all shared stuff in the entire Dropbox.

 

I would love this feature as well, and it makes perfect sense to be able to get this report to ensure that you don't share the wrong stuff to wrong people.

We need a proper reporting tool for Dropbox so we can generate these types of reports. They are very important for secrurity audits to ensure nothing is shared innapropriately
