The Family Room folder is now available to all users of Dropbox Family. Files placed in the Family Room folder by any member of your plan will automatically be made available to the other members.
Learn more about the Family Room folder in our help center.
Dropbox Enterprise admins will now receive real-time notifications when suspicious behavior, risky activity, or potential data leaks are detected on their accounts. The following events can be monitored:
We’ve also provided the ability to configure alert thresholds, adjust notification recipients, and trigger alerts when folders with sensitive files are shared externally.
Teams on Dropbox Enterprise can now have personal and sensitive data automatically labeled to better protect it from being exposed. Admins will receive data loss prevention (DLP) alerts via email when files or folders containing sensitive information are shared outside their team. Dropbox Enterprise admins can activate automatic data classification from the admin console.
We’ve turned on a new data disposition feature as part of our Data Governance add-on. Data disposition allows admins to create policies so that data will be deleted a certain period after file was created or uploaded to Dropbox to comply with data retention and disposition requirements. In the future, team admins will be able to monitor activity by receiving reports alerting them of upcoming file deletions.
Three new security features are being rolled out, offering improved customization and insights:
Now Dropbox Business teams using the Data Governance Add-on can set data retention policies to better adhere with compliance and regulation requirements. The Data Governance Add-on is available to all Dropbox Business teams as an additional purchase.
Dropbox Business Advanced and Enterprise teams now have access to traffic and insights for shared links. With these features, users can easily track interactions with their shared links. For any link they’ve created, they’ll see who’s visited, what kind of device was used, when it was accessed, and whether it was viewed or downloaded.
Branded sharing enhancements are now available on Dropbox Business Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise. Branded sharing gives you the ability to present files with your logo, company name, and a background image. Recipients will see them when they view shared links and in email notifications for links. Admins can set branding for the entire team; Advanced and Enterprise admins can also allow team members to set branding for their individual accounts.
We’ve made the insights dashboard the first page Dropbox Enterprise admins see when signing in to the admin console.
Dropbox Business admins can now adjust Dropbox desktop app settings for individual users, departments, or locations. Admins can customize network settings like bandwidth limits and data controls like Smart Sync options. These settings are currently available for Windows installations only.
Dropbox Business users can now automatically back up and sync their computers’ “Desktop”, “Downloads”, and “Documents” folders to Dropbox. Admins will be able to toggle this feature on or off from the admin console, and see when users have turned the feature on or off in the audit log.
Our new password storage and syncing tool, Dropbox Passwords, is now available in beta for all Dropbox Standard and Advanced users. Admins will be able to toggle this feature on or off from the admin console, and see who’s activated Passwords in the audit log.
We’ve added new apps to the Dropbox App Center to help you work with your favorite tools and enhance workflows.
You can now stay up to date by following shared folders. When following a folder, users will receive an email when it’s updated. Emails can be customized by action—additions or deletions—and frequency—immediate or daily.
We will shut down Showcase on January 31, 2021. Several Dropbox Showcase features have moved to other Dropbox sharing tools. Branded sharing and traffic and insights are now available for all shared links, and Dropbox Transfer allows users to easily and securely deliver final files. All of these sharing features are available in both Dropbox Pro and Business.
