Activity log showing activity as view/download

Activity log in Sharefile show every file as view/download, even if the file is only viewed, not downloaded. This create issues while auditing the files.

Is there a possibility to separate these two entities, so that if any user only view the file, it should show 'view', and on download t shows 'download'

I don't see how you can view a file without downloading it in some fashion (even to a temporary cache in your browser)

So, it will never show file as viewed only? if this is the case, why we have the option of 'View'?

I think that viewing the file still downloads it somewhere to your computer, even if not to the "downloads" folder. Downloading it just creates a more accessible copy.

Thank you. Do we have any option to only view the file without downloading? Something like online viewer?

Because, if we give any user to only view the file and if we check the audit logs of that file, it will still show as downloaded and will create confusion to the auditor.
