+Enhancement: Tracing improvements in the collaboration service
+
+Uploads and downloads through the collaboration service will be traced. The openInApp request will also be linked properly with other requests in the tracing.
+In addition, the collaboration service will include some additional information in the traces. Filtering based on that information might be an option.
