Can I see if anyone has accessed or downloaded my shared files?

How can I tell if a person I've shared files with has actually accessed or downloaded them?  I don't see anything other than my own changes in Activity . . . does that mean that they haven't been looked at yet?

    Hey OrrinC, thanks for posting your question today!

     

    Are you referring to files in a shared folder or files you've shared through a shared link?

     

    When it comes to shared links, depending on your plan, you can access certain viewer info.

     

    You can't see info on downloads, however.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions.
