Do 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.1.3KViews0likes3Comments
