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

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.

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.
