How to know IF / When a file has been downloaded?
If I create a link to one of my files, and I give that link to a friend, then he can download it.
Is there a way for me to know if or when ANYBODY ever downloads that file?
(Regardless of whether the person Has or doesn't have a Dropbox account.)
Thanks.
- Hi MarkInfo27, thanks for messaging the Community!
Currently, it isn't possible to know if a person downloaded a file via a shared link.
However, using Dropbox Transfer would allow you to know if the file has been downloaded.
If you need any further assistance, please let me know!

I would need to Pay for a "Professional" acct to get that Transfer option.
AND the MAX expiration date could be for Only ONE Year.Darn.
OK. Thanks, anyway.
