Hi @Purvi Kotadiya 

 

1. Navigate to Event registry table (sysevent_register.list)

2. There you will get attachment.read event  ,OOB. This even helps to track whether an attachment has been read/dowloaded.

Now if you upload  any attachment using attachment icon in incident, 

it  will show in activity log of incident.

Now if you download it , you can track it from here.

Navigate to sysevent.list table

 

(Check the screenshot which I downloaded as admin in my PDI)
