Make a BAA available to individual professional users.
Why not add a BAA option to the individual professional plan? From multiple online discussions, I know I am not the only solo practitioner who wants a HIPAA compliant app to take psychotherapy notes by hand during sessions (on an ipad or other tablet). Your only option is Dropbox business, but I would be the only user, and I am already paying a monthly fee for my medical records software (not to mention a secure faxing app) - I balk at an additional fee that is almost as much. As a very small business, I just cannot justify that cost. My G Suites for business is less than 10.00 per month and supports a BAA, but I don't love the interface of Google Keep, and would prefer Dropbox paper.18KViews5likes8Comments
Have Dropbox do virus checking
I think it would be a great extra service if Dropbox could do a security scan on any X set of files (and recursively). This could be as files are added or on a scheduled basis. I see this being done using some open-source virus checker or in partnership with a 3rd party security service and could be an extra value add or fee service.15KViews2likes4Comments
Auto-Log Out function for the website
I work at a very large University and there are literally thousand of students and staff using dropbox here. I recently noticed that dropbox does not log out automatically on browsers. This may be a Chrome/IE issue. However, if you bring up dropbox on almost any computer at the uni, there is still someone logged in into his/her account, because people assume that they are logged out when they close the browser. This is a significant security risk for personal data - PLEASE ENABLE AN AUTO_LOG OUT SETTING WITH A TIMER (ie - after 10 minutes inactivity) THIS IS STANDARD FOR SENSITIVE DATA WEBSITES - PLEASE VOTE FOR THIS FEATURE - IT IS CRUCIAL FOR MILLIONS OF DROPBOX USERS WHO LOG IN ON PUBLIC COMPUTERS AND MAY FORGET TO LOG OUT. THANKS FOR YOUR VOTE!12KViews18likes8Comments
Admin disable "remember me" on login screen
As an admin I would like the ability to disable the "remember me" option on the login screen. This would force the user to enter a password whenever logging into Dropbox online. Many apps make this available to company admins. As cybersecurity becomes increasingly important this is a feature that I think is absolutely mandatory. I would really like for Dropbox to close the desktop app when a user logs out of their computer. For some reason they think this is unnecessary and that a computer password is sufficient security. I find it interesting that Boxcryptor, one of their technology partners, offers this extra security but Dropbox doesn't bother to do so. Would it really take that much effort to add this feature? You talk about how secure our data is in your cloud storage. How about helping to make it secure on my desktop?11KViews10likes11Comments
Customisable Admin roles
I'm unsure if it has been suggested or not, but I would like to be able to customise admin roles have just the 3 admin roles, I find is not flexible enough. For example I don't wont to give an user full blown team admin rights but I want some of those team admin rights adding to the user management admin so they can also managed team folders etc. If Dropbox can allow to create and customise admin roles would be great.7.4KViews2likes5Comments
Remove fake file activity when not logged in
After I upload a file to Dropbox for others to download, the recipients (without Dropbox accounts) open the link and see, under “Activity”: “Patricia Johnson downloaded this file” and “Anthony Abate viewed this file”: Apparently, this is supposed to be just an example of what file activity would look like if one were signed in to the account. However, it’s not obvious that this is the case, and has (understandably) caused concern for those who believe their privacy has been breached. Please remove this “feature”.6.3KViews9likes10CommentsDisable linking multiple accounts to certain users only.
I have a business account and as the owner of the business I would like to be able to link it with my personal account. However, as I am concerned about the sceurity of my data with other team members I do not want them to be able to link their personal accounts. Can this global setting be user/group specific?4.7KViews1like5CommentsI would like more tools to analyze my team's file activity on Dropbox
DropBox has evolved within many organizations to take on the role of more than just a sharing and archiving system, to become a fundamental hub integral to many facets of their work. From collaboration, to knowledge distribution, many have leveraged the available client tools, however, the tools available to administrators has not grown along with it. I need data on my data, and sadly the available reports are lacking. For instance, I can see the super-users on our deployment based on physical file storage, but I cannot see what specific files of theirs that are generating the most activity. How am I supposed to justify my license count if there is no means to truly verify the service is worth it, and actively utilized?4.4KViews6likes6Comments
