Network control is a security and access feature available to customers on Dropbox Enterprise. With this feature, IT admins can manage which Dropbox accounts can be used on their corporate network. Using your proxy or CASB vendor, you can specify which team member accounts can log in and sync via dropbox.com or the Dropbox desktop app.
Who can use network control?
Network control is available exclusively to Enterprise teams. Admins can set up network control to help manage how members of their team access Dropbox.
How do I get started with network control?
To set up network control, contact the Dropbox account manager for your Enterprise account. They can give you early access to this feature and detailed instructions regarding the setup.
Once the Dropbox account manager for your Enterprise account has given you early access, follow these instructions to get started:
- Log in to dropbox.com with your admin credentials.
- Click Admin console.
- Click Settings.
- Click Network control.
- Enable network control.
- Configure your proxy or CASB vendor to add a custom HTTP header to Dropbox traffic from your web browser and desktop client.

Dropbox will now block traffic that's not associated with the correct Enterprise team.
