Understand what this feature tracks & does not track
Keep in mind, this feature does not tell you how many times an file has been viewed. If a file is inserted in a webpage so that viewers see it inside the webpage, this tool will not help you. But if you’re inserting links to non-viewable files (like TIFFs and the like), then you can track downloads using this feature.
Steps for viewing file statistics
-
Hover over Dashboard and press Files.The File Manager Menu will pop up.
-
Click on the file whose statistics you wish to view (but not on the checkbox; see Figure 1) and select Properties.
-
Select the Statistics tab.
-
View the statistics.
