Can I create an activity report for shared files?

Hello community!

Is there any way I can generate a full report on file-sharing activity (created, edited, deleted)?

My idea is to handle the data to create a time tracking sheet (when each member worked on a specific folder/project)

Best!

 

 

  • Oh, great!

    Almost double the price to download my own activity log?

    Would never think that access to my own information would be a premium feature.

    Makes sense, amazing plans design!

    Best!

    Hey Eduardo Tosto, I hope you're well today!

     

    Could you let me know what kind of subscription your account is under? If you're not sure, you can check your account's plan page here.

     

    The best reporting tools for this would be for a Business team admin, as they could use the activity log to create a report of specific activities.

     

    Let me know and we can go from there!

      Hi @Daphne, thanks for your reply!

      My subscription is a Dropbox Business Standard account.

      I've already played a bit with the activity log reports but couldn't find a file activity report:

      • Added
      • Edited
      • Moved
      • Renamed

      It would be great if I could get this report with members, folders, and date information.

      With a few queries in sheets, I could create an automated time tracking report for my studio.

      Best!

        Hey Eduardo Tosto, thanks for getting back to us. 

         

        Out of curiosity, when you type in "shared folder" in your activity monitor under your admin console's Activity tab, do you get any relevant results?
