Can I see who downloaded a specific file via AI?

Yes! Use the `list_activity_history` tool. Your agent will retrieve the audit logs, which you can filter to find download events for a particular file or user.

How do I create a new folder in my secure storage?

Use the `create_folder` action. Provide the path where you want the new directory to be created (e.g., '/projects/2024') and the agent will register it in Files.com instantly.

Is it possible to list all users in my Files.com instance via AI?

Absolutely. Use the `list_users` query. The agent will retrieve the complete directory of users configured for your company's instance.
