Dropbox File Sharing Issues

Question

I am using a shared folder in dropbox. I need to know who adds which file to the dropbox folder. Is there a way to find this out?

Answer 1

One way to find this information is by looking through the different versions of the file. You can look at a relevant help page of the Dropbox service. Here is an exerp that will get you going:

1. Sign in to the Dropbox website
2. Right-click on the file in the file browser and select Previous versions in the pop-up menu

It's as simple as that. You'll see all the versions and who's been changing it.

You probably need to have that feature enabled, though.

Edit:

Another way you could find out is by using the Event tab from the Dropbox website. You can use the drop-down-list at the top of the page to select the desired shared folder.

Thanks to the answer here for the pointer.

Answer 2

I prefer Event tab. It shows the user's name beside his activity.
