Does Dropbox notify me when someone clicks a link they don’t have access to anymore?

Let’s say under either circumstance. If a person clicks on a link and it takes them to a page that says “you no longer have access”, is the account owner notified

Thanks for the clarification. No, there wouldn't be any notification to the shared link owner.

    Would there be any way for the account owner to see if someone clicked the link? In a security alert or anything like that or an audit log

      Currently, there isn't a method to do what you're asking on the Dropbox site.
