Security at Dropbox

Dropbox security: Protect and control

Dropbox provides the administrative control and visibility features that empower IT to effectively manage their business with a trusted service. Behind the intuitive interface is a secure, sophisticated infrastructure built to protect your important files. We work behind the scenes to ensure that your files are protected while being transferred, stored, and processed, and our information security management framework is designed to assess risks and build a culture of security at Dropbox.

Under the hood: Architecture overview

Dropbox is designed with multiple layers of protection, including secure data transfer, encryption, network configuration, and application-level controls distributed across a scalable, secure infrastructure. Distributing your encrypted files logically and spreading other data across multiple services not only makes syncing faster and more reliable, but also enhances security.

Control and visibility

As no two organizations are exactly alike, we've developed a number of tools that empower administrators to customize Dropbox for Business to their organization's particular needs. We provide a toolbox of control and visibility features available via the Dropbox for Business admin console. Dropbox for Business also includes tools for users to protect their accounts and files available through our product's various user interfaces, as well as integration with our Dropbox for Business API partners.

Information security

Dropbox has established an information security management framework describing the purpose, direction, principles, and basic rules for how we maintain trust. This is accomplished by assessing risks and continually improving the security, confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the Dropbox for Business system. We regularly review and update security policies, provide security training, perform application and network security testing (including penetration testing), monitor compliance with security policies, and conduct risk assessments.
