Do file hosting sites (Mega, Mediafire, Google Drive, etc.) track user download IPs? (zerobytes.monster)

So let's say I download a pirated file from Mediafire or any other cloud file hosting site. This file is then found by authorities after someone reports it for piracy. Could authorities then ask the file hosting platform to give them the IPs of every user that downloaded that file(assuming the file has a small amount of downloads)?

And if so, how long do they log your ip for? Let's say I downloaded the pirated file two months ago, is my IP address still in their database?
