Content Insights: What "Downloaded" Really Means

Hello!

  • When Content Insights identifies an authenticated collaborator’s action as “Downloaded,” which methods generate that event?
  • Specifically, does the event occur when the collaborator :
    • (1) previews the file,
    • (2) opens it in Microsoft Word for the web using Office co-authoring,
    • (3) opens it in desktop Word through Box Edit,
    • (4) opens it through Box Drive, OR
    • (5) manually selects Download?

We need to distinguish browser-based co-authoring from actions that create a local copy for compliance purposes.

Thanks in advance for the responses and insights!
