orangedox
My company is doing an email blast and I would like to try the basic version of OrangeDox to track how many times a file was downloaded. I saw something about a 50 limit link share.
Does that mean 50 different links?
Or will the file stop allowing users to download after 50 times?
Stop tracking after 50 times?
The only way to track the download is after creating this link in Orangedox
The short answer is yes, you need to create a new share link within Orangedox and use that to share it with your audience; then you'll be able to view the number of times the file was downloaded using that share link.
Also note, unlike Dropbox you can create multiple share links to one file so you can track different channels where the file was downloaded from (eg one link for your website, one that you sent to a friend etc..)
In order to see how many times & when the file was downloaded you'll need to login to Orangedox and browse the file that you're tracking (see screenshot)
As for email notifications .. that is something we are looking to add into Pro in the near future.

The 50 link limit is on the number of share links you can create with the Basic (Free) version. There is, however, a limit of 200 views/month (to limit abuse) for each share link with the Basic & Pro plans. There is no limit of share links or views for the Business plan, also note there's a free 14 day trial :)
