15 TopicsDo people back-up their Dropbox files?
Hi all, A recent cyber audit in our organisation recommended we back-up our entire Dropbox. We are an organisation of approx 50 employees. We use MFA for Dropbox access and use Dropbox exclusively for filing across the entire business. Does anyone else choose to back their Dropbox files up and why? The research I've done of Dropbox shows it to be pretty robust. I get a non-committal, politicians-style answer from the auditors, as to whether they think this is business essential or a nice-to-have, and am interested in what others opinions are. Thank you.1.2KViews0likes3CommentsQuick Ideas for Freeing Up Space

1. Use strong and unique passwords One easy way to check both of these boxes is to use a password manager like 1Password or LastPass. Itâs a solution thatâs convenient for employees, but secure enough to keep IT admins happy. Tip: Encourage employees to practice the same good password habits with personal accountsâmany successful attacks on businesses start with a stolen personal password or user name. 2. Enforce two-factor authentication Two-factor authentication â which typically involves a mobile appâis another must. Even if your password is stolen, it will serve as a backstop, preventing hackers from accessing your account. The problem? Only about 30 percent of people use two-factor authentication, and nearly three-quarters of IT decision makers admit receiving complaints from employees who use it. Tip: Some services let you use a Universal 2nd Factor security key, a physical alternative to two-factor authentication that can also protect you against phishing attacks. 3. Push all software updates Everyday users donât always understand how important bug fixes and security patches can be. Ideally, IT teams and business owners should force software updates across employee devices if they havenât been updated within a few days. How about you? How are you keeping your company's data safe?3.3KViews1like1CommentThings you can do with Dropbox Paper
1. Holding brainstorms Youâve likely participated in your fair share of brainstorms, but what happens when your team is scattered across three offices and three time zones? Paper is designed to help you grow ideas with others, even if everyone canât meet in the same room. Your team can easily add photos and videos, jot down quick thoughts, and add comments in the margins. Collaborators can use emoji and stickers to show how they feel about each idea, making comments feel like conversations. Itâs the creative space for a brainstorm in the convenience of a simple doc. 2. Taking meeting notes Sometimes you need a doc with a bit more structure than a free-wheeling brainstorm, like when youâre taking notes for a meeting. Here, Paper makes organization and quick formatting a snap. Start a bulleted or numbered list on the fly, or share the doc with colleagues if you need them to jump in. Easily add headings and subheadings, and Paper will smartly organize each section in a table of contents on the left. When the meetingâs over, you can group the most important items in a table for quick reference, or add highlights to emphasize a few key linesâperfect for co-workers who missed the team sync.
