Can I see who has opened our Dropbox transfer link?

I have Dropbox transfer. 

 

Once you create a transfer you have two options, "email" "link".

 

If you select email and send the link that way, Dropbox tracks who got the link and let's you know when they opened it.

 

If you select "link" Dropbox transfer does not track who got the link, and sayd it was downloaded, but not by whom.

 

Any way to make the link setting behave like the email setting?  I'd like to know who opened our links.

 

Thanks!

    Simply put, no. Because Dropbox doesnt know who has the link - you could have given it to 1 person or 1,000.
