\n

How can I tell if someone opened a file I shared from Delta Drive?

\n

Short answer: Set Recent to Opened to see who last opened or downloaded each file, or check the Shared screen, which shows each share's opens and downloads — or Nobody has opened it yet.

\n

Two places tell you. Recent, set to Recent by → Opened, lists what was last opened or downloaded — including by anyone you shared it with — with their address and when.

\n

The Shared screen shows each share's last open and roughly where from, then who did what — for example opened four times, took two copies — or Nobody has opened it yet. Activity on a share opens its full log.
