Can I see the exact days someone accessed my shared folder?

Question or Issue
I have a student worker with whom I share one folder.  She says she was working on Saturday, but when I received the summary it doesn't show any work on Saturday.  How can I view the exact days and times she accessed that folder?

    Hey there, welcome to the forum asdavies​ 

    Are you looking to see when your student viewed the folder itself, or when they edited or added specific files inside the shared folder?

    This distinction is important because you'd be able to see a log of edits, but not if someone simply viewed the folder.

    I’m looking to see if she actually viewed the folder. Ah I see - thank you.
