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.

We’ve enhanced camera uploads functionality and availability to help more users keep their photos safe and organized. All users, including those on the Basic plan, can now back up photos and videos automatically with camera uploads. We’ve also significantly improved background functionality for faster, more reliable uploads and now support uploads from specific albums and additional file types, including live photos, bursts, and edits (iOS only).
These enhancements are available on all Dropbox plans. Try camera uploads today.
Since it launched in August 2020, we’ve made a few updates to Dropbox Passwords to increase usability. Updates include:
Dropbox Passwords is available to all Basic, Plus, Professional and Family users and Business teams that are part of our early access program.
We’ve launched new features to help users stay organized at work and home, including:
These new features are available on Dropbox Basic, Dropbox Plus, Dropbox Professional, and all Dropbox Business plans.
Users can now add an early version of the Dropbox Spaces app for Zoom to collaborate before, during, and after meetings. The new app lets users stay organized by keeping meeting content, including agendas, in one place, view upcoming meetings, capture real-time meeting notes for the team right inside the Zoom meeting, and assign tasks to stay on top of action items.
A new external sharing page in the admin console lets admins see how data is shared outside the company. Admins on Dropbox Business Advanced, Dropbox Business Enterprise, and Dropbox Education plans can view and filter (by file type, who shared, and link settings, among others) all files and folders shared externally.
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.
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.
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.

In addition to security alerts and notifications released in March, Dropbox Enterprise admins can now mark alerts as reviewing, resolved, or dismissed. A new dashboard widget showing overall team alert insights and trends for the past week is now available. Admins can continue to configure alerts for malware detection, mass deletions, mass data moves, multiple failed sign-in attempts, and sign-in attempts from high-risk countries.
Admins on Dropbox Enterprise, Dropbox Business Advanced, and Dropbox Education can now give teammates the right level of access to the admin console according to their jobs.
The following five admin roles are now available:
Billing: Access billing pages in the admin console
Content: Oversee Content Manager and Manage Groups
Compliance: Manage Data Governance, data retention, and data disposition, content manager
Report: Create reports within the admin console
Security: Assign roles, control access, and sign in as a user
We developed the new external sharing feature to give you greater visibility into what’s being shared outside of your company. You can now create a report from the insights page that lists all the files, folders, and links shared outside your team. External sharing reports are available to admins on Dropbox Enterprise, Dropbox Business Advanced, and Dropbox Education.
New controls in the Dropbox Business admin console let you manage the apps that users connect to their Dropbox accounts. You can allow or block new connections to any app in our App Center as well as custom apps not featured in our App Center.
