The feature for "Show owners the names of people who viewed their files in OneDrive" seems to be limited to just showing me the first 25 viewer's names. Does anyone know how to increase this limit so I can see all viewer names?

Question

I went to my SharePoint page, clicked on Settings and Activated the feature that lets you see the names of people who've viewed your page (not just the number of viewers or number of viewers, but their names). Then I went to the document library and right-clicked on the page to open File Statistics in a sidebar. It does show me the names of the viewers and the dates they went to the page, but it seems to only load 25 names, I can't scroll beyond that and the "hyperlink" for the viewers doesn't go anywhere or do anything. Anyone able to find an owner or organization setting that removes the 25 limit on viewer names? Nothing I can find shows that there should be a limit, but alas, there seems to be a limit.

Answer 1

The feature that allows owners to see the names of people who viewed their files in OneDrive does not mention any specific limit on the number of viewer names displayed. However, it is noted that the file viewer information is recorded and available for auditing, even if not all names are visible at once. Unfortunately, there is no indication in the provided context that there is a setting to increase the limit beyond what you are currently experiencing.

If you are encountering a limit of 25 names, it may be a design choice or a limitation of the interface rather than a configurable setting. For further assistance, it might be helpful to check with Microsoft support or the SharePoint community for any updates or workarounds.
