Describe reason for admin signing in as a user
When an admin uses the "log in as user"/"sign in as user" feature in the web admin interface, a confirmation prompt appears warning the admin that all other admins will get notified by email. It would be nice if this confirmation prompt included a text entry box where the admin could describe the reason for signing in as a member, and if this reason was included in the email sent to other admins and in the audit logs. Use case: Our admins are regularly accessing the Dropbox account of a recently departed senior employee to look for certain files. Currently, the Dropbox admins manually send emails to the other admins to let them know the reason for the access.Ability to password-protect folders within Dropbox
Now that Vault is being discontinued, I think it would be useful to have the ability to password-protect folders within Dropbox itself. I know you can password-protect folders when sharing them, but I'd like the ability to password-protect individual folders in Dropbox, to add additional security. I store client information, financial information for taxes, etc. on Dropbox and while I password-protect individual files, I'd like to be able to password-protect full folders too, just for the added layer of security.We can't access the account with two factor code enabled, as the email is deleted
Hi We have a business account with Dropbox. It was created using a former employee's email. I can't log in and change the email address because two-factor authentication is enabled. The email has been deleted, so I can't receive the code. What should I do?
Show IP logins in easy accessable log
Since IP addresses are not shown in security allerts of new login I want an ease accessable "Your Logins", just as you have the "Your Activity", in the program/app and in web login. Notification just mentioning that there has been a web browser login without mention from where (what IP address) is pretty useless, so I need to see from where the access is to eliminate the suspicion of unauthorized logins somewhere, without searching in settings for open sessions. Thank you.My iPhone was stolen and two-factor authentication is preventing my account access.
My iphone was stolen, and two factor authentication is stopping me from logging in. A code is supposed to be sent to my new phone, but I never receive it. Sometimes I receive an error message that says there was an error sending the code. I changed my password on my account with the Apple Private Relay address, but I am not receiving the code, so I can’t logon. I have 2 factor authentication on, and I can’t get the code from the Auth App either because of the stolen phone. See attached screenshot with error message Dropbox Support staff says I will never be able to recover my account because the email address is an Apple private relay address and I cannot send them an email from this address. This is ridiculous. I have recovered other accounts elsewhere that use Apple’s private relay address. Dropbox Support says they are going to just close my Help Desk Ticket without helping me further/with no resolution. This seems to be bad security recovery design. I would appreciate any help in gaining access to my account. I only have one device- my new iPhone. Thanks
Can you change the data locations for Basic accounts?
Hello, Given the increasing focus and concern on data transfers and data storage locations it makes sense the Dropbox should extend the option to choose the storage location on all accounts not just the ones that are paid for. I appreciate that this feature is a way to differentiate accounts between free to paid (and a way to make money) but the rights of the data subject are still crucial. I know Dropbox have all the relevant documentation and standards however that is not the same as having your data in your own country/region.What are the functional restrictions of end-to-end encryption on Business Plus?
What functional limitations do I have with dropbox if I encrypt my data end-to-end (with my Business Plus subscription)? Are functions such as restoring previous versions of files still possible? Does Dropbox recognize attacks on my data despite end-to-end encryption? Thanks for your help!!!
