Why did team activity drop in my Dropbox admin console?

What causes it?

1. Dropbox lists some actions it does not log, such as comments, so a team whose work is mostly those actions can look quiet in the activity log.

   In the Dropbox help: The following activities are not logged: Deleted a screenshot, Deleted a recording, Made a Comment, Deleted a comment, and Trimmed a Recording. View team activity in the admin console, read 2026-11-12.

2. Activity that comes through third-party integrations in Dropbox Sign is not tracked in the team log, as Dropbox explains, so it does not add to the count.

   In the Dropbox help: Third-party integration activity in Sign won’t be tracked in your Dropbox team’s activity log. View team activity in the admin console, read 2026-11-12.

3. Team activity covers files your team owns or that are shared with your members, so work done in files outside that set is not part of it.

   In the Dropbox help: As a team admin, you'll see events for files owned by your team and files shared with your team members. View team activity in the admin console, read 2026-11-12.

How do I check it myself?

1. Filter activity to the people you expected to be busy, to see whether the drop comes from a few members or the whole team.

   In the Dropbox help: To view recent activity of a specific team member or multiple team members, click People, then enter the name(s). View team activity in the admin console, read 2026-11-12.

2. If Dropbox shows the most recent dates as still processing, check those dates again later before reading them as a drop.

   In the Dropbox help: You may see a "processing" message when trying to view dates for which we're still processing the data. View team activity in the admin console, read 2026-11-12.

How does Dropbox work with Feder?

• Connect Dropbox to Feder and it joins your Visits apps.
• When you connect Dropbox, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.

See whether you can trust the numbers in Dropbox, one of your Visits apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Dropbox.
