Dropbox Standard Plan Activity Log

Could I ask how the standard plan activity log looks like? It says up to folder level which means that we can see activities up to sub-folder levels and not file level or is it only root folder level...

    There are some differences in the logs between a Dropbox Business subscription on the Standard or Advanced/Enterprise plans.
     
    Firstly is the initial screen, you can see that Advanced allows you to immediately filter based on a file or folder:
     
    Standard log
     
    Advanced log
    ---
     
    Then there are the filter differences, note that Advanced has 17 more File filters:
     
    Standard filters
     
     
     
    Advanced filters
     
    ---
     
    I’ve listed the items visible in the Advanced log, but not the Standard log in alphabetical order:
     
    - Added a file
    - Added a folder
    - Copied a file
    - Copied a folder
    - Deleted a file
    - Deleted a folder
    - Downloaded files
    - Edited files
    - Moved a file
    - Moved a folder
    - Previewed files
    - Renamed a file
    - Renamed a folder
    - Restored a file
    - Restored a folder
    - Reverted files to a previous version
    - Rolled back file changes
     
    Hopefully this should clarify matters for you!

    I see.  So a log is only available if you have a Business Account.  Personal accounts do not have logs or Audit Trails?

      That’s correct, personal accounts don’t have any logs like that.
