Do we have any report on counting file download in a course?

Hi everyone, 

Does anyone know if we have any report on calculating how many downloads of a particular file in Canvas course? I see in Analytics, we have only file uploads. But our faculty prefer to see the download instead.

I have tried to find a workaround for our faculty to upload the file in Google Drive and link it to Canvas course. However, without a paid education Google account, we can not see the download report also.

Thanks for your reading and look forward to hearing any suggestion or workaround.

When looking at the user access report, I see each URL that a student has selected in the course. This includes the files that are inside a course, and it counts the number of views. The Canvas Guides document on this states that files are counted if the user views or previews the file:

How do I view the course access report for an individual user?
