Flatter Files has recently been updated to allow you to retrieve specific stats regarding the links that you share outside your company. Stats for your shared items provide a great mechanism for ensuring that the vendors or partners that you have shared the item with are actually accessing the item as it is updated.
Right clicking on a shared item now includes two additional menu items. The first is Access Stats and the second is Update Stats. The image below shows both of these new menu options.

Access stats show how many times the shared link has been accessed by each email. The image below shows a table listing each email that has access to the item, the last time they logged in, and the number of logins in the last 30 days. Additionally, a log of each individual login can be displayed by clicking View, which is shown in the second image below.
In addition to the access stats, you can also view an update log that shows when and what was updated with regard to the particular shared item. For example, one of the drawings might be listed as updated or if you add items to a shared link the item added will be listed as being added. An example update log is shown in the image below.
A monthly shared item stats email that summarizes the stats for all of your shared items can also be configured to be sent by the account administrator. To configure, go to your Dashboard, click Settings, and then click Company. There is an option under company settings that allows you to turn on and then enter the email addresses that should receive the monthly email. This email is sent on the first of each month. The option for turning on the email is shown in the image below with the blue box around it.
Easily creating and controlling shared links is a big part of Flatter Files. With these new features, not only do you have complete control on who can view your content but you can now find out if they are actually accessing the item when they say they are accessing it.
