if i upload a file or for instance a resume(.pdf) to appwrite cloud, and share the link to xyz is it possible to get an alert as to someone viewed this document?

TL;DR
User is asking if it's possible to receive an alert when someone views a document uploaded to Appwrite cloud. No, there isn't currently an event for storage view, but the user can still track the usage of the link by using bit.ly. Additionally, the user can create a function to return the file URL with tracking info or create an HTML preview page with tracking info.

As of now there isn't any event for storage view.

What you can do is:

  • Return the file URL through a function in which you can add the tracking info.
  • Create an HTML preview page for the image - very basic structure - then in that page add the tracking info.

Also you can use bit.ly to track the usages of that link
