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

Hi @D469, thanks for contacting us.

 

Are you referring to a user trying to click a shared link to a file or folder, to which they no longer have access?

 

Did you make this change by deleting the link or file, or did you change the permissions of the link for it to only be accessible to team members?

 

This will help me to assist further!

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.
