Hi meatmeatmeat_1, thanks for messaging the Community.
Could you clarify how you're going to download the content? Is this from a shared link on their account, or by some other method?
Are they on a Dropbox Business team or a personal account?
This will help me to assist further.

HiJay! It’s from a shared link! And I’m not too sure what account they are on but they are a business so possibly Dropbox business?

Hey meatmeatmeat_1, sorry to jump in here!
If the creator of the link is the admin of a Dropbox Business team, they'll be able to see that someone has accessed/opened the link and that they downloaded files from the link.
They can also see the location this was done from, yes (country, city).
You can read more about viewing team activity on Dropbox Business here.
This is all in the case that the creator has a Business account; if they have a personal one, they cannot see this info.
