Dropbox DocSend data room audit logs

Updated Apr 23, 2026

DocSend data rooms provide audit logs (or, audit trails) that allow you to see a record of actions taken by users in that data room. View, filter, and export logs of all visitor activity to monitor your data's security. Owners and collaborators can access the audit log by clicking on the audit log icon. Audit logs make it easier to meet compliance requirements and manage liabilities.

Note: Only data room owners, collaborators, and team admins can view audit logs for their data room.

What are audit logs?

Audit logs allow users to view, filter, and export logs of all user activity to monitor data security. Users can access their audit logs by clicking Audit Log in the left sidebar menu. From here, users can download audit logs or filter them by Users, Activity, and Date.

Users: Filter by user to view all actions taken by specific individuals.
Activity: Filter by specific actions such as adding or downloading files.
Date: Filter to view actions that took place within a specific date range.

Remove user information from audit logs

You can remove information that could be used to identify individuals from your audit logs, and delete audit log records as needed. Deleting an audit log entry removes potentially sensitive user information but retains information about what actions were taken and when.

When you delete an activity from the audit log, that user data is permanently removed and can’t be restored.
