When a public share is downloaded by share link, an activity log is shown in the "Activity" web page. Currently it is "{file} downloaded via public link". This is less useful.
It would be very helpful to at least show the IP address for the one who has downloaded the file or folder, e.g. "{file} downloaded via public link (IP address: {ip}).", so that the person who shared the link can have a clue of who has downloaded the file from where in the world.

Research direction
Start with the existing Activity page entry for a public-link download and trace it to the public-share download handling. Identify how the event is created and displayed, then verify that the downloader's IP address appears in the activity message without breaking existing public-share activity behavior.
