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 signed in to both accounts.
