How do see who viewed or downloaded a folder?
I emailed a link to someone to view a folder. How can I see if they downloaded or viewed the folder?

Hi anaheimu, thanks for bringing this to our attention.
Just for clarification, was this a shared link that you created?
Did you use the send and track feature, or the DocSend feature?
This will help me to assist further!
This was a shared link I created

Thanks for the info, if this case, it wouldn't be possible to determine if a user viewed, accessed or downloaded the folder or the files within.
Is it possible if I have a different account like a business account?

Instead of upgrading, you could also use the Dropbox Transfer feature, which does tell you when a transfer has been downloaded.
I see. But that won't help me with the link I manually e-mailed already, right?
- Jay
That's correct, however, even if you upgrade now, it wouldn't be possible to determine any traffic as this shared link was been created prior to any upgrade.
