Is it possible to get notified when the recipient clicks on a Dropbox link?

Hello, I’ve just transferred from Box.com to Dropbox.  On Box I receive an email every time the recipient clicked on the link I share with them. How can I have Dropbox do the same ?

Dropbox doesn't have that capability for shared links. If you're inviting someone to a shared folder or file you can use viewer information to see if they're currently viewing a file, but that information isn't available for shared links.
