If they were deleting the files it would appear on the Events page. If they're simply making copies outside of Dropbox, there's no way for you to know.

Hi AliT, as it's a shared folder, it wouldn't be possible to determine which user is copying and reselling your information, since the files would sync automatically to all those accounts.
Even if it was a shared link, or if you were on a Dropbox Business account, any user who accesses the file could resell it, since there is no copyright protection on the file.
