Download file vs Save as Shared Folder

In a shared folder admin will be notified if file is downloaded by pressing the download button within dropbox, but does right click/save as do the same?

Hi there MHP86, thanks for using Dropbox and welcome to the Community!

 

When you say admin, are you referring to a team admin on a team Dropbox account or maybe to the owner of a shared folder?

 

Let us know and we'll take it from there.

Hi Walter,

 

I'd say the Folder Owner.


That would also mean team admin I assume?

    This would depend on the accounts you're using MHP86 

     

    Are you all part of the same Dropbox for Business teams account or are you all using individual accounts?

        Hi MHP86, sorry, could you clarify exactly what you mean 'the same Dropbox'?

         

        What is your current plan according to this page? What are you trying to do, add a shared folder to your account, download a file in a shared folder, or anything else?
