External sharing page

A new external sharing page in the admin console lets admins see how data is shared outside the company.

External sharing page

Sharing controls

With enhanced sharing controls, admins can now set default expiration time and password restrictions for shared links to control access to company data. Sharing settings are available on Dropbox Business Standard, Dropbox Business Advanced, and Dropbox Business Enterprise.

Sharing settings

Enhanced data classification

Dropbox Business Enterprise admins now have the ability to identify and classify sensitive data stored in shared folders and personal team member folders. Admins will receive alerts if sensitive data stored in a team member folder has potentially been compromised. Once the setting is turned on, admins can configure the scope of the scan for PII.

Enhanced data classification

Suggested folders

Users on all Dropbox Business plans will now receive recommendations for different folders with different permissions based on their role and how their team collaborates, whether that’s internally, externally, or a combination of both. Team members will see these suggested folders during onboarding.

File conversion

Using file conversion helps users save time by converting file formats, including PDFs and images, without leaving Dropbox. File conversion eliminates the need to open a file in another application, change the format, then save the new version to Dropbox. File conversion to PDFs and images is available to all Dropbox users.

To learn more about file conversion, visit the help center.
