Hi ScruffyDan; thanks for reaching out!

 

Assuming that you're a team admin, you'll be able to generate such a report through your Admin Console under the Activity tab.

 

Since you'd like to get a high-level picture of your team's sharing activity, you should check out the admin dashboard as it provides overall usage stats, such as the number of shared links created and the number of active shared folders. 

 

I hope this helps and please let me know if you have any follow up questions Dan.

Hi there Walter , any news about this?

 

I have a few customers that has put this question on their "Must have" list instead of "Nice to have" list.
