Viewing access history for a file

The History for file page on the Files page in the User Portal, displays a list of times that a selected file was viewed.

For a file that you've shared with other users using a link, you can also view a list of times that the file was accessed. For each of these access events, the File History page displays one of these:

For files shared publicly, the IP address through which the link was accessed

For files shared internally, the username of the user who accessed the file

You cannot view the history for files in mobilized data shares. For information on mobilized data shares, see About mobilized data shares.

For information on sharing files, see Sharing links to files and folders from the User Portal, Sharing links to files and folders from the desktop application, and Sharing links to files and folders from the mobile application.
