Example data

Start broad, then trace activity to the exact file

The Statistics page gives you the account-wide picture. Each share also has its own compact summary and a details window, so the everyday file panel stays readable.

Account-wide totals

Review downloads, share-page views, unique downloaders, and the total bytes served across your files.

30-day activity

Spot quiet days, sudden bursts, and sustained download activity on the daily chart.

Audience breakdown

See the split between anonymous recipients and people downloading while signed in.

Top shares and countries

Rank shares by downloads and transfer served, then see where completed downloads came from.

Find out exactly what was downloaded

  1. 1

    Open Statistics from My Files

    Open My Files and use the Statistics item in the dashboard navigation for an overview of every share you own.

  2. 2

    Check Top shares first

    Sort the signal from the noise by looking for high download counts or large transfer-served totals.

  3. 3

    Match the activity to a filename

    Recent downloads lists the exact file, its share, file size, country, and time. The account page shows the latest 50 completed downloads.

  4. 4

    Drill into one share

    Select the share in My Files. Its panel shows a simple Anonymous and Registered total; choose View details to open the centered activity window with the latest 100 records.

Files worth keeping an eye on

Transfer bandwidth measures data delivered to recipients, not the amount you store. A file stored once can be transferred many times.

01

Large video and audio

A 1 GB video downloaded 10 times is roughly 10 GB of transfer. When you share videos, preview exports and lower-resolution delivery copies can make a large difference.

02

Archives and “Download all”

ZIP files often bundle several large assets. When you send large files, repeated full-bundle downloads can use more transfer than recipients selecting only what they need.

03

Repeated downloads

A modest file can become the top consumer when the same public link is used repeatedly or shared beyond its intended audience.

04

Sudden audience spikes

A jump in unique downloaders, new countries, or anonymous activity can reveal a link that travelled farther than expected.

Quick estimatefile size × completed downloads ≈ transfer used

The dashboard records the bytes actually served, so its total is more accurate than this planning estimate.

Turn the numbers into an action

  • Identify the source. Compare Top shares with Recent downloads to find both the share and exact filename.
  • Limit unintended access. Remove a share you no longer want public, or use password protection or a one-time link for a small audience.
  • Reduce delivery size. Compress files before sharing, trim a video, or send a lower-resolution copy when the original is larger than recipients need.
  • Watch the right meter. Use the Transfer meter in My Files for the current month and reset date. The Statistics total is all-time.

Views, downloads, and privacy

View

Someone opened a share page. Opening it does not guarantee that a file was downloaded.

Download

A file delivery completed. One visitor can download several files and create several download records.

Unique downloader

An estimated distinct recipient, useful for judging reach without treating every file click as a new person.

Transfer served

The bytes delivered by completed downloads, shown separately from the storage occupied by your files.

Privacy by design: the dashboard masks email and IP details. It helps you understand delivery activity without presenting full personal identifiers. Read the privacy policy for how ShareIt handles account and service data.

File statistics FAQ

The practical details behind the dashboard numbers.

Can I see which file was downloaded?
Yes. Recent downloads shows the exact filename, its share, size, country, and download time. A share's View details window shows its latest 100 download records.
Can I tell whether a downloader was signed in?
Yes. Activity is summarised as Anonymous and Registered. Signed-in activity can show a display name and masked email; anonymous activity is labelled Anonymous.
What is the difference between a view and a download?
A view means someone opened a share page. A download is counted when a file delivery completes, so one visitor can create a view and then download more than one file.
How can I find a file using too much transfer bandwidth?
Check Top shares for the largest transfer-served total, then use Recent downloads to identify the exact files. Large videos, archives, repeated downloads, and Download all ZIP files are the first things to inspect.
Does stored file size count as transfer bandwidth?
No. Storage is how much data you keep in My Files. Transfer is the data delivered when recipients download it. A 1 GB file stored once can use several GB of transfer if downloaded several times.
Where can I see my current monthly transfer allowance?
The Transfer meter in My Files shows usage for the current month and its reset date. The Statistics page's Transfer served card is an all-time activity total, so the two figures cover different periods.
