yes we do use a business account with 3 users with 3 different logins, and one of the account is shared with 2 other users except the main user.
Also all of files are synced on time and downloaded in our respective plug in Hard drives.
so my questions are
1)Is there any way to track where the files are being copied or moved to? even if it's out of Dropbox folders like in my desktop or in the Pc folders? may be like a log or something where we can see what files are viewed or working by different users or any sort
2)Once I tried copying the downloaded files from my Hard disk to my pc but this is when I forgot to turn on the sync button, in which the process was terminated and a dialog box was popped up saying this cannot be done because the sync was off, that means something resisting or tracking the file's movement right? I am also not very sure about this waiting for someone to throw some light on this.
Thank you

There is the activity report in the admin console, however, that is limited to actions of Dropbox, and don't log any computer-based actions.
Could you clarify what you mean by copying files 'from my Hard disk to my pc'? Did you mean from the Dropbox site to your computer, or by marking files as available offline?
- Pooja p7 months agoExplorer | Level 3Hey 😊,
If possible can you please tell me what kind of informations we get about our team through "activity report". Also is this is same on every other packages and plans as well?
And since all our files are also available offline they are all downloaded in real-time on our respective plug in Hard disc's, which We can move or copy from Hard disc to our computer's folders or in any other storages.
