Dropbox Standard Plan Activity Log
Could I ask how the standard plan activity log looks like? It says up to folder level which means that we can see activities up to sub-folder levels and not file level or is it only root folder level?
- There are some differences in the logs between a Dropbox Business subscription on the Standard or Advanced/Enterprise plans.Firstly is the initial screen, you can see that Advanced allows you to immediately filter based on a file or folder:---Then there are the filter differences, note that Advanced has 17 more File filters:---I’ve listed the items visible in the Advanced log, but not the Standard log in alphabetical order:- Added a file- Added a folder- Copied a file- Copied a folder- Deleted a file- Deleted a folder- Downloaded files- Edited files- Moved a file- Moved a folder- Previewed files- Renamed a file- Renamed a folder- Restored a file- Restored a folder- Reverted files to a previous version- Rolled back file changesHopefully this should clarify matters for you!

Great answer - very clear, thank you.
I would ask your colleagues at Dropbox not to be cynical with audit.
Deleting files is a simple and important use case. Dont use this fact to force people into a subscription they otherwise dont need. Today you have moved me closer to a strategy involving Google's Drive product.
- SanchezDropbox StaffHey again,For shared folders and links, you’ll be able to view activity as normal, even if the user isn’t part of your team!Cheers

Where does one fin these logs in DropBox?
- JayDropbox StaffHi Pierre, the activity log can be found in the admin console, though bear in mind, only the team admin on a paid Dropbox Business team can access this page.
