Dropbox shared folder to an external drive
Can an Admin see if a file was copied or downloaded from a Dropbox shared folder to an external drive, outside of Dropbox?

Hi nameless, thanks for messaging the Community!
Are they part of a Dropbox Business team or is it a personal account with a shared folder?
Do you have the Dropbox desktop application installed, or are you downloading the files directly from the site?
This will help me to assist further!

Jay,
Could you answer the question with regard to each of the scenarios you've outlined? Perhaps that's four different answers?
Thank you!

Hey nameless, Jay is asking if this person is a member of a Dropbox Business team, because depending on the team plan, the team admin has access to certain info about member activity, whereas the info you're inquiring about, is not available to individual users.
