Hi, 

just wanted to verify that there is NOT a way to easily detect via API if the end user has succeeded in downloading the file per shared download link?

We can pass the URL link to a webhook > trigger the download / password prompt at user end browser but that's about it?

Best,
Tomas

    Hi, 

    You could monitor the event stream for download events, but outside of that, no. There isn't a way to do that exact task natively in Box via the API. 

    Thanks,
