Security Concerns Over Dropbox

Dropbox does not use encryption while uploading files, hence, it is a major security risk to your enterprise data. In recent years, large Dropbox accounts have been hacked, which can be a concern for security-conscious enterprises handling sensitive data. Fortunately, there are better private Dropbox alternatives which provide better security, controls and features.

Disadvantages of Dropbox for Business

When using Dropbox for your file sharing, sync and backup, you never have complete control over your data. Dropbox does encrypt your files, but maintains their own access to the encryption keys, which means you relinquish some control of your files to Dropbox. Dropbox only uses in-transit and at-rest encryption for your files and has access to all passwords and encryption keys.

Case Study – Customer Moving to FileCloud from Dropbox!

Primary reasons, and things I liked about FileCloud:

  • Control- With Dropbox, we couldn’t create a required file system structure. The content our team generates is valuable, and too often it would get stored in places that made it hard to find or manage. With FileCloud, we’ve set up a structure that appears the same to everyone.
  • Transparency- With Dropbox, we owned all the files our users put in Dropbox, but the only way we could access or see those files was to remove the user from Dropbox, at which point it transferred the files to the admin. With FileCloud, we can administratively access those files, and see what users are sharing anytime.
