Description
It would be great if it is possible to see User IP and User Agent when a user does something in public links like downloading, deleting etc.
At the moment Activity shows:
It is impossible to understand who did a specific action, especially in cloud providers that uses nextcloud as a cloud.
It is even confusing because it creates a lot of entries when a user downloads a content only once and for Activity, downloaded means both open and download a file
Sometimes Activity, logs user agent for deleted app passwords, so I think it is possible:
Censored IP can be a valid option, for example 159.69.138.x and User Agent with only Browser and/or Operating System type:
It would be great if admins can choose to log those informations or not:
Thank you for your work (:

Research direction
Start by tracing how public-link actions such as downloads and deletions become Activity entries, then compare that flow with the existing app-password deletion entries that record user-agent information. Done would require a defined, administrator-controlled approach for recording and displaying IP and user-agent details without exposing unnecessary information.
