So you removed your access from the said shared folder and by accident you accessed a file within it before doing so - correct? Note that any shared file that currently is saved in your Dropbox will show viewer info and this includes files in shared folders and files that have a shared link to them too. With viewer info, you can see if someone is currently looking at a file.
And, depending on the Dropbox plan you have, you may also be able to see when someone last viewed a file. If anyone has access to the content via a shared link they will only show as a guest. Walter Community Moderator Dropbox dropbox. Did this post help you? If so, please give it a Like below. Still stuck? Ask me a question! View solution in original post. Hey there hetricga - how are you today? I'm ony asking because members of shared folders are able to view, download and edit even delete files from shared folders if they've been given edit rights to begin with.
Can I see who has edited a file I have uploaded? Dropbox is a major cloud storage service with global presence. There is a basic free plan that gives you 2GB of storage and paid plans that increase that to 1TB or 2TB for individuals or unlimited storage for teams.
The service is easy to use, works on any web-enabled device and has proven itself very reliable. Dropbox is cloud storage. It is not a cloud sharing service. Share it to the world and you will likely have the link blocked. Parse the. The tool, called Registry Recon , is a commercial tool and I can not vouch for it since I have not yet used it myself.
Pursue that at your own risk; however, I will point out the bullet-point claim in the release notes. I have left the original post exactly as it was, but would like to say that I never meant to bash any commercial product nor do I intend to promote myself or any third party products I happen to mention.
I do not apologize for my sense of humor, but I do regret the possibility that I offended anyone. Not that is important what you think of me; rather it is important for me to respect the culture and demeanor of this forum.
I do respect the community here and for that reason I apologize. I looked at a commercial offering called "Spector " that was talking about this exact scenario. As you might imagine, it required agents to be installed onto each monitored computer. Honestly, I was not happy with the system impact that the agents had on system performance.
This is to be expected from pretty much any solution that is available to address the scenario you are describing. You should expect friction from AV installed on those systems though, no matter how legit the company that authored the application. They are all capable of being used malevolently. As for forensically looking for evidence I really wouldn't count on it. There would be artifacts created if the system conditions were right. Those artifacts would also be eroded according to the system conditions, usage, and time since the event.
Are you trying to determine if you have had some files stolen, or are you just wondering? Burring their living space and surrounding areas to the ground would give a little more assurance that any stolen data was destroyed. Of course, my last suggestion is illegeal and I am only kidding about actually carrying out such drastic measures.

Thanks Eric -- that's good to know. I won't waste any more time with that approach. NET folks. Show 2 more comments. Active Oldest Votes. The client algorithm: Generate a random unique token. Show the "waiting" indicator. Start a timer, and every second or so, look for a cookie named "fileDownloadToken" or whatever you decide. If the cookie exists, and its value matches the token, hide the "waiting" indicator.
If it has a non-empty value, drop a cookie e. Improve this answer. David Passmore 6, 4 4 gold badges 43 43 silver badges 68 68 bronze badges. A heads up for others: if document. For some time I thought the issue was the special 'localhost' domain cookie handling stackoverflow. May be that for others though so worth the read. Do you think that it will, or cookies restrictions will compromise it? Brilliant - it wouldn't have occurred to me in years that you could include cookies as part of a file download.
Thank you!! As others have pointed out, this solution only solves part of the problem, the waiting for the server to prepare the file time. The other part of the problem, which can be considerable depending on the size of the file and the connection speed, is how long it takes to actually get the whole file on the client. And that is not solved with this solution. Show 16 more comments. Echilon 9, 28 28 gold badges silver badges bronze badges.
This is a simple approach which is ideal for getting rid of a loading overlay for a file download which was triggered using onbeforeunload Thank you.
Safari, some IE versions, etc. Chrome and other such browsers auto-download the files where this condition will fail. Lucky that is only by default. It is entirely possible a user of Chrome will specify where downloads should be saved and hence see the dialog box — ESR. Add a comment. Don't eval code inside setTimeout 'getstatus ', ;.

What if the user clicks the window? The hide is not getting called in my case — Prashant Pimpale. Worked for me for a pdf download with only some line of codes — Chris. My case is working on JSP and click to download csv. It works. Show 1 more comment.
There are four known approaches to dealing with detecting when a browser download starts: Call fetch , retrieve the entire response, attach an a tag with a download attribute, and trigger a click event. Modern web browsers will then offer the user the option to save the already retrieved file. There are several downsides with this approach: The entire data blob is stored in RAM, so if the file is large, it will consume that much RAM. For small files, this probably isn't a deal breaker.
The user has to wait for the entire file to download before they can save it. They also can't leave the page until it completes. The built-in web browser file downloader is not used. A cross-domain fetch will probably fail unless CORS headers are set. The iframe fires a load event if a page loads in the iframe instead of starting a download but it does not fire any events if the download starts.
Setting a cookie with the web server can then be detected by Javascript in a loop. There are several downsides with this approach: The server and client have to work in concert. The server has to set a cookie. The client has to detect the cookie. Cross-domain requests won't be able to set the cookie. There are limits to how many cookies can be set per domain. Can't send custom HTTP headers.
Use an iframe with URL redirection. The iframe starts a request and once the server has prepared the file, it dumps a HTML document that performs a meta refresh to a new URL, which triggers the download 1 second later. The load event on the iframe happens when the HTML document loads. There are several downsides with this approach: The server has to maintain storage for the content being downloaded.
Requires a cron job or similar to regularly clean up the directory. The server has to dump out special HTML content when the file is ready.
