According that i thought there is a special way which gives sign from Pinterest to Dropbox, if someone opens the video link. And thought too that i can find any special function on Dropbox to get know that activity: who opened or who’s Pinterest user opened, when happened, how many times etc.No, that's not possible. There is no such feature within Dropbox.

Dropbox StaffHey tothillesistvan, thanks for posting on our Community and happy Monday!
I'm not quite sure about the issue at hand, can you please clarify what you mean by a Dropbox saved video file through Pinterest?
Let me know more and we'll take it from there.
Hi Walter,
Yes, of course. First of all, i had made a video with photos and pictures and music by iMovie and saved into my Dropbox, because it is huge (2,67gb). After i have post it’s link by Dropbox at my Pinterest account with a picture (https://www.pinterest.com/pin/487092515960614622/sent/?invite_code=89bb0a6b2ebd46ed8ae6fa3fd42faefb&sender=487092653356279902&sfo=1) which is a link actually to Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/s/j2ir6gcgpnbq11j/Isten%20%C3%A9ltessen%20sz%C3%BClet%C3%A9snapod%20alkalm%C3%A1b%C3%B3l%20Linda!!!.mov?dl=0). So, everybody can play the video on the Pinterest app without any Dropbox account. So, it is clear, it works. And i can recognize how many times opened the video by someone according the Pinterest statistic. However, it is only a data of an opening. But i am curious about the person who opened, if i have a tool to indetify. The Pineterest is not able to be a tool, on the other hand the Dropbox has a function to get know who read or write a file which shared. According that i thought there is a special way which gives sign from Pinterest to Dropbox, if someone opens the video link. And thought too that i can find any special function on Dropbox to get know that activity: who opened or who’s Pinterest user opened, when happened, how many times etc.
It is not a short brief, but that’s what i meant.
Thx, Illes
