Hi khodges, thanks for messaging the Community!

 

This feature would only be possible on a Dropbox Business plan on the Advanced subscription, which gives you a breakdown by file.

 

This way, you can locate a specific file that was shared and see the IP address of a file that was accessed via the activity log.

 

If you need any more details, feel free to message back!
