There currently isn't any feature to show statistics regarding the number of downloads a file has, but there are workarounds that you can do.

If you have shared the whole folder, then it is not possible, but if you only shared links to specific files, you can use the bit.ly URL shortener to keep visit statistics for you. The question is of course how you "offer" those files to your family.
