Track File Download Action

It can be done with development. I'll outline the parts you'd need to create/change (but it's all untested so you'll need to fill in any gaps).

First, you'd need to create a custom configuration service, we'll say it is call UsrCustomFileService that has a function GetFile that takes two params string entitySchemaUId, string fileId. All the function needs to do is something like this: 

[OperationContract]
[WebGet(UriTemplate = "GetFile/{entitySchemaUId}/{fileId}")]
public Stream GetFile(string entitySchemaUId, string fileId) {
    // log the user and file for entitySchemaUId and fileId here
    // now return the file calling the out of the box file service, something like this: 
    var fileService = new FileService();
    return fileService.GetFile(entitySchemaUId, fileId);
}

Then, you'll need to replace the FileDetailV2 schema and override the getColumnLinkConfig function. You could copy the existing function. Basically, what you'd need to change is to take the result of Terrasoft.FileDownloader.getFileLink(this.entitySchema.uId, id) and replace in that string "FileService" with the name of your custom configuration service "UsrCustomFileService". 

Now, when a link is clicked, the link will call your custom configuration service, which can log the download, then return the file stream so the file downloads.
