Dropbox Combats Security Stigma with Enterprise Version of App

Dropbox is rolling out its new business-focused file-sharing platform, Dropbox Enterprise, which could turn around its reputation of being the most blacklisted business app.

The bad reputation of Dropbox has developed as the app branded itself as a consumer-level file-sharing platform, and not one that can be trusted by enterprise IT with confidential documents and data. Furthermore, IT can lose visibility of content when it is stored on consumer file-sharing apps.

Dropbox Enterprise combats this issue with a new set of tools available to users, which includes scalable deployment through domain verification and account capture. IT admins will be able to see which employees already have existing person Dropbox accounts, and can easily add these members of the workforce onto enterprise accounts.

The new security features of Dropbox Enterprise include suspended user state, which allows admins to disable an employee’s access to the corporate account before deleting it. Admins can log in to an employee’s corporate account, if needed.

Dropbox Enterprise and Dropbox Business will also offer custom branding, allowing users to put a company logo on documents, so the recipient will be able to quickly identify it as corporate information.
