The Dropbox Data Governance add-on
The information in this article applies to admins on Dropbox Standard, Business, Advanced, Business Plus, and Enterprise.
The Dropbox Data Governance add-on helps admins on Dropbox team accounts secure and control team data so they’re prepared for any compliance or audit needs.

Data Governance add-on features
Legal holds
With legal holds, admins can place a legal hold on members of their team and view and export all the content that’s been created or modified by those members.
Note: Legal holds aren't available for Send and Track and end-to-end encrypted files.
Data Retention
Admins can create data retention and disposition policies to help them meet compliance and regulatory requirements.
Learn more about data retention.
Extended version history
The Dropbox Data Governance add-on increases file version history to 10 years, so teams have more time to recover files.
Note: Extended version history isn’t available for templates in Signatures.
