Restrict personal accounts in the App

Restrict personal accounts in the App

giantwombat
Explorer | Level 3

We manage an enterprise fleet that uses the Dropbox application to Sync files.  Is there anyway (e.g. an enterprise setting we can configure on Mac/Windows) to prevent users from signing in to the Dropbox Application using their personal accounts? We want to prevent work data from being sync'd to users personal accounts.

Hi @wiza, thanks for providing these details.

This should be possible using device approvals, by only allowing one Dropbox account to be connected to the Dropbox desktop application.

If you need any more details, feel free to message back!

Ah thanks, that looks like it'll work for mixed accounts (personal + work). Is there any way to disable personal account login all together? I was looking at the GPO but couldnt see anything obvious

 Network control is also an option for Enterprise plans which only allows certain accounts to access Dropbox on a corporate network.
