Open a download

Open a gallery and choose Activity → Downloads. The Activity page separates Downloads, Favorites, and Visitors into tabs, so only one list is visible at a time. Each entry shows the visitor, file count and time. Choose View photos to open the full file list. Photo previews load only after you open the window; there are no thumbnails in the activity list. Entries containing video use View files; older activity uses View details. Close the window to return to the activity list. Recent activity also opens the gallery’s Activity tab.

A record shows when it was requested, the email supplied (or Anonymous visitor), whether it covers a single file, selected photos, a section, a shared set or the entire gallery, and the delivered file version: full resolution, web size or a watermarked copy. Email identifies the requester; it does not prove who opened a forwarded link.

Choose a thumbnail for a larger preview. Use Copy filenames to copy the full file list, including files on later pages. Large downloads show the first 12 files; choose Show more files to continue. Load earlier downloads opens older activity. Filters apply to the loaded records. Refresh checks for changes.

The same activity list and file window work on phones. About download tracking explains what is recorded. These controls work in the Galleries web app; they are not part of the wedding-planning app.

What the status means

• Preparing ZIP: the files have been selected and the ZIP is being built. It is not counted as downloaded yet.
• Ready to download: the ZIP is prepared, but its download link has not been opened.
• Download started: FOCL began serving files or handed the browser a ready download link. Browsers cannot confirm that a file was finally saved to a device.
• Partially started: only some files from a selected group started transferring. Check the recorded file list.
• Download interrupted: preparing or streaming the ZIP failed.

The page is available to the gallery owner without an additional plan upgrade. Gallery permissions, hidden photos, passwords and download PINs still control the files visitors can access. An owner’s data export is not client download activity.

Older or removed photos

New tracked downloads retain the filename and file version recorded at that time. Renaming or removing a photo later does not rewrite that record. If the original photo was deleted or replaced, its preview is unavailable.

Older single-photo activity may still identify a photo, using its current preview and filename. Older ZIP activity only has the details originally recorded, such as a count or section. FOCL will not substitute the gallery’s current photos for a missing historical file list.
