Choose server location
I have a dropbox professional.
Is it possible to transfer my files to a server located in EU?
Not with Professional, no. That is something you can only do with a Business licence holding at least 10 seats: https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/security/physical-location-data-storage

Thank you, Mark, for the information ...

As a Canadian non-profit society, I'm required to store our data in Canada, including no transmission of data through any other country. At present, sync.com does that, but it would sure be nice if Dropbox caught up -- I've only a 1 user account, as that's all I need -- going pro with 10 users is simply too expensive to even consider.

Hello @Dropbox or SuperUser(s),
So to be able to have data stored (or moved) on/to European servers, you need:
- business-licence (standard, etc)
- at least 10 users
Is that correct?
Another question: although, if as a company you do not meet these requirements on licencing, the GDPR is still applicable if the data is stored on US-servers, correct?
Best regards,
Yannic

No, a European server would not be acceptable. Data belonging to non-profit societies (and some other companies) must be stored in Canada and must not travel through any server located outside of Canada. GDPR doesn't enter into this requirement.
