Viewing activities on secure content

Users of the Safe Share web application can view a history of specific activities performed on a file or folder.

To view the activities performed on a file or folder:

2. Locate the file or folder whose activity you wish to view.
3. Highlight the item, by clicking on the item's row (to the right of its name):
   
4. Click the History tab to reveal a history of activities performed on the item in reverse chronological order:
   

Types of activities indicated

The types of activities indicated on a file or folder (i.e. item) depend on the following conditions:

• As one of the following:
  • the owner of an item,
  • a collaborator¹ with Manage permissions on an item, or
  • a collaborator with Upload permissions on an item you created²,
  the History tab shows when (and by whom) the item was created, as well as each time anyone with access to the item:
  • Viewed or downloaded the item (if it is a file).
  • Modified:
    • the item's name or
    • the item's location.
  • As the owner of the item only, modified:
    • whom the item is shared with or
    • a collaborator's permissions on the item (when sharing it).
• As a collaborator with either Download or View permissions on a file you did not create, the History tab shows each time you either viewed or downloaded that file.
• As a collaborator with Upload, Download or View permissions on a folder you did not create, no activity is shown on the History tab.

¹ A collaborator on an item is someone who has permission to access the item. However, the collaborator does not own this item because the item is located in a folder owned by someone else.
² A collaborator in this context is yourself, having created a folder or uploaded a file within a folder owned by someone else. If the item is a file, then Safe Share implicitly downgrades its permissions from Upload to Download since, from a usability perspective, it is not possible to upload content to a file.
