Seeking guidance on which subscriptions/modules suit my use case
Hi Community! Hoping for some guidance on how to get the most suitable subscription (/module use) for my specific scenario.
Working as part of a small-business (read: cash-strapped) where we provide graphic assets to our ~150-200 clients each week on a Monday AM.
Currently using the DropBox Transfer capability to create a new custom link each Sunday that contain the assets within and send that via email to clients (requirement-1). We also love and need the ability to see the view/download insights per link/client as this helps us understanding engagement with our service (requirement-2).
The key constraint to solve for is the current manual operational process used to a) create the link (currently, DropBox Transfer link) with graphics within, and then b) add that custom link into our weekly Email (for 150-200 clients). It adds substantial manual effort to our weekly production process and we are very keen to optimise this, as its not very scalable.
I had hoped to be able to have a 'persistent link' for each Client that they can use/bookmark, and standardise that link into our email (remove the weekly manual effort). We could then simply add the assets into a new folder for the week's content 'week starting DDMMYYYY' etc. Should still be quite useable for the clients! (requirement-1 should be fine here!).
Problem: I don't believe that we will get the download/engagement insights from just a 'standard folder' (requirement-2 failing in this solution).
Can anyone share more? Is there an option where this can still be met?

Hi lrunyard, thanks for messaging the Community.
Currently, there isn't any feature on Dropbox that would match your requirements, aside from manually creating Dropbox Transfer links like you're already doing.
The closest thing that would have a persistent link would be a shared link to a folder, however, this doesn't have any traffic data available.
If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
