Thank you for the great tutorial - how would you recommend going about tracking file downloads on a subdomain? Is it sufficient to add my GTM tracking code on the subdomain to then get all the data via the Google tag into my GA4 or do I need to add an additional data stream (the subdomain) in GA4?

This video was very helpful! I seem to be running into an issue related to case (I get different results if I filter by lowercase or all caps). Is there a way to ignore case in the filter?

Very good... thanks, Benjamin! Question, when I disable the Enhanced measurement (file download) what does that really mean?

@IlanPerez 7 ай бұрын

What if i need to track files with extension that are not in the list?

@pierrenel1014 5 ай бұрын

What is the benefit of using GTM? From what I can see, all the file info is captured using the enhanced measurements.

@albertvillarrubia4097 6 ай бұрын

Hello! I'm already tracking file downloads, I'm looking to see if there is a way also GA4 provide download speed of the file?

@LovesData 6 ай бұрын

That’s not possible.

Is it considered a "download" if when a user clicks a link, the PDF just opens in a new browser tab, or does it actually have to be downloaded to their desktop for it to be considered a "file_download" event in GA4?

@LovesData 10 ай бұрын

Great question! It’s when someone clicks.
