Restrict access to folders within a shared folder
There is a real need for setting folder access restrictions within a shared parent folder. We have several folders shared across teams that occasionally requires specific subfolders to be limited to one team or select employees and there is not way to accomplish this without moving the subfolder to a completely separate parent folder, disrupting our workflows.
Dropbox for teams: Advanced access control based on IP
For enterprise or business using drobox some data we would like to make sure is not leaving the office premises. My suggestion is to add advanced access control that will be based on IP of the request + Folder + user + Access Method (API \ Mobile App \ Desktop \ Web ...) + Action (Delete \ Upload \Update \ Download ) Scenario that it could help: Add a new desktop client that can sync all salary\finance folder only from specific IPs. From web allow only download file from specific folders . No upload to those folders)
Option for team admin to undo or reject bulk file move request
If a team member (accidentally without knowing) move a large folder (say more than 1GB - or size determined by Admin Manager) send an alert to the Admin Manager to OK or STOP the move before it can take affect. Or when Dropbox sends the bulk data move alert, provide an UNDO option to the Admin Manager as the current alert does not provide detailed info as to what was moved where. Or create a clear emergency alert to warn the member that they are about to action a mass data move, is that what they intend to do - before it takes action. Back story: Our business has an SLA with multiple big companies whereby we are obliged to save their data for at least 5 years. Knowing where to locate a historic file is therefor most important to us. I recently received an alert that 37.5 GB data was moved, and I was only able to trace and restore 12.96 GB. Even with the Dropbox technical assistance, we were unable to locate the move. We have been in business since 2016 and have a team of 30 members who create multiple folders daily. It is virtually impossible to locate a big folder that was accidently dragged and dropped into another folder. The team member who was responsible for the mass data move did not even realize that they had done it.
