Make a BAA available to individual professional users.

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.

Hi @Georgeanna; thanks for using Paper!

 

This idea is going to need a bit more support before we can share your suggestion with the team so I’ve updated the status to encourage more users to back you up!

 

See you around the Community!

Hello, Please add HIPAA compliance to the Professional Individual plan.  There are thousands of us individual owned companies who would like to have it.  Thank you, Michael

Currently, only a team of users can sign a BAA with dropbox; This option is way too expensive and impractical for private practitioners seeking HIPAA compliance for their own individual private practice. Allowing individual (single) users to sign a BAA for HIPAA compliance (without requiring them to be a part of a team) would allow Dropbox to tap into a largely untapped market with few competitors and very high demand. I know of MANY private practitioners who wouuld sign up for this option if it was available for individuals rather than just teams. Dropbox is missing out on a huge market opportunity by continuing to ignore this need.

I don't see where hipaa compliance storage is open to plus users. Many of us work as solo practitioners and would pay more for our ability to store our documents in a hipaa compliant company.

Hello developer team,

 

I am starting a Wellness Coaching business. I love Dropbox and would like to keep using it for my new coaching business. I am a sole proprietor and in private practice, so I'm a team of one! I would like a HIPPA complaint option on as a plan on Dropbox that is $10-$15/mo. I don't think I am the only entrepreneur in this situation and it would be another market within which you could sell plans. I also think having more complementary HelloSign e-signatures added into the business plans would make sense, instead of up to 3/month for all plans. I might need up to 10 e-signatures a month as a business owner in the coaching profession. That would be an incentive to buy the business plans.

 

Thanks, I look forward to your response

Walter,

I suggest the team reach out to Person Centered Tech. They are a very popular consulting platform that offers trainings and information about technical services that support mental health providers in private practice. If a BAA/HIPPA compliant option was added to the individual dropbox account, I believe they would be willing to promote it, and a great many people would be interested. I am sure relatively few of us read these comments, hence the few responses.
