Connect Google Cloud Identity to Dropbox Business

The Dropbox integration for Google Cloud Identity helps you manage your Dropbox Business team centrally through Google Cloud Identity. When you use Dropbox with Google Cloud Identity, you can:

• Configure single sign-on (SSO) for your Dropbox team account
• Manage provisioning and deprovisioning Dropbox team account users through the Google Admin console

To set up SSO and provisioning, you need to be an admin on a Dropbox team account and a Google super administrator, and be logged in to both accounts.
