Managing Downloads and Quotas
Track download activity, understand quota limits, and optimize usage across your plans.
What you'll learn
View download history
Go to History. You'll see every download across all your shared files, with:
- Timestamp
- File name
- IP address (hashed for privacy)
- Device type (desktop/mobile/tablet)
- Approximate location
Understand your quota
The "downloads per day" quota is the number of times your shared files can be downloaded by others. It's not limits on your downloads.
- Free: 50/day
- Pro: 500/day
- Contributor: Unlimited
Quota resets at midnight UTC. Check your quota badge in the navbar at any time.
Per-file analytics
Click any file in My Files to see:
- Total downloads (lifetime)
- Downloads in the last 7 days
- Most active days
- Geographic distribution
Use this to understand which files are popular and which aren't getting traction.
Favorites for quick access
Star important files from the files list. They'll show up in Favorites for one-click access.
Perfect for files you share frequently — no need to scroll through long lists.
Quota running low?
When you hit 80% of your daily quota, you'll see a warning. Options:
- Wait until midnight UTC for reset
- Upgrade to Pro for 10x more downloads
- Consider Contributor for unlimited downloads
