The eShare Service loads all the audit entries collected by audit engine with-respect to your selected eShare Entry. These audit entries are based on Event Type: a. Authentication (login) Attempts to your eShare (if its a secure or public share). b. Downloads and Uploads to your eShare folder
The Audit entries tracks: a. The IP address to each person who used your eShare along with any email-address (if any) they provided. b. Which incoming browser or device (like phone/tablet/computer) was used for accessing your eShare? c. When was your eShare accessed?
These monitoring and audit events help you identify and determine if your target audience/recepient are really using the shared eShare Link that you created and shared. It helps in planning and measuring the usage and distribution of secured file-content/data from within your Cloud-Service account.
