This guide will help you set up a basic file download report in GA4. Please note that file_download is one of the automatically recorded actions in GA4. What this guide does is create a report that only focuses on the downloads; where they occurred and what file extension was downloaded.\
Preparation
- You will need to have connected your website to a GA4 account and property. This guide does not work for GA3
- You will need to have full admin rights to the GA4 account and property. See your admin if you do not.
Exploration
GA4 is still building a lot of the standard reports that GA3 had. What it does have is a comprehensive report-building tool under Explore in the main side menu.
Navigate to Explorations
- Click on the Explore icon to open the Explore page. You may be able to see Reports saved by other users. You will only be able to use a Report that you are the owner of. Either
