Understanding Your Analytics

GolemDrive tracks download statistics for every file you share, giving you a clear picture of how your content is being used. Whether you’re sharing a project with your team or distributing files publicly, analytics help you understand what’s happening after you hit “share.”

What you can see

Section titled “What you can see”

Your analytics dashboard gives you access to several types of data:

  • Download counts — how many times each file has been downloaded, with totals and per-file breakdowns
  • Geographic reach — which countries your downloaders are in, so you know where your audience is
  • Device and browser info — whether people are downloading from desktop, mobile, or tablet, and which browsers they’re using
  • Top downloaded files — your most popular content, ranked by download count
  • Peak download times — when your files see the most activity, by hour and day of week
  • Bandwidth served — total bytes transferred across all your downloads

Together, these give you a solid understanding of your file activity without needing to dig through logs or ask anyone.

Where to find your analytics

Section titled “Where to find your analytics”

Analytics are available in a few different places, depending on what you’re looking for:

Section titled “Share link analytics”

The most common way to check analytics. Go to the Share Links page in your sidebar, find the link you want, and click the chart icon next to it. This shows views, downloads, and activity for that specific share link.

See Share Link Analytics for the full breakdown.

AI assistant

Section titled “AI assistant”

You can ask the AI chatbox for analytics in plain English. Try things like:

  • “Show download stats for my files”
  • “What are my most downloaded files this month?”
  • “How many downloads did my presentation get?”

The AI will pull the numbers and summarize them for you right in the chat.

Creator Dashboard

Section titled “Creator Dashboard”

If you’re part of the Partner Program, you get a dedicated Partner Dashboard with detailed earnings analytics — revenue by file, by country, CPM rates, payout history, and more.

See Creator & Earnings Analytics for details.

How often is data updated?

Section titled “How often is data updated?”

Analytics data is updated daily. Rollup jobs run overnight to aggregate download records into the summaries you see in the dashboard. This means:

  • A download that happens today will appear in your analytics tomorrow
  • Totals and trends reflect data through the end of the previous day
  • Real-time download counts (shown on share links) update faster, but the full geographic and device breakdowns come from the daily rollup

Time ranges

Section titled “Time ranges”

You can view your analytics across different time periods:

  • Daily — see activity for individual days
  • Weekly — aggregated by week for spotting trends
  • Monthly — the big picture view

This makes it easy to compare performance over time or zoom into a specific period when you shared something new.

Privacy note

Section titled “Privacy note”

Analytics show you aggregate data about your own files only. You cannot see analytics for other users’ files, and other users cannot see yours. GolemDrive does not share individual downloader identities with file owners — the geographic and device data comes from anonymized, aggregated records.
