Take control of Dropbox: Automate security & access with BetterCloud

Dropbox makes file sharing easy, but for IT teams, keeping track of permissions, ensuring security, and maintaining compliance can be a constant ordeal. Who has access to sensitive files? Are former employees still lingering in shared folders? How do you prevent accidental data leaks without micromanaging every file change?
 
BetterCloud automates user management, security policies, and compliance enforcement—giving IT and finance teams the control they need without the manual workload.

Unauthorized access protection

Imagine: A remote employee tries to access a confidential financial report from an unrecognized IP outside the company’s trusted range. BetterCloud instantly detects the attempt, identifies the confidentiality of the file, and triggers an automated security response - alerting the user and security team, revoking any active sessions, and logging them out; even locking their devices. Easy, right? Finally, a seamless way to prevent unauthorized access and protect sensitive data in real time.

Smart security + cost control: Smart governance with zero-trust

  • Smart governance detects risky behavior and prevents breaches.
  • Zero-trust security ensures employees only access necessary data.
  • SaaS cost control reduces spending on unused licenses.
  • Automated compliance simplifies audits and policy enforcement.

How IT administrators benefit from Dropbox + BetterCloud

A new contractor joins for a three-month project. They need access to specific files and folders but should not retain access once their contract ends. BetterCloud automates provisioning, granting Dropbox folder access based on role and revoking it on expiration—no manual tracking needed. This ensures compliance and reduces security risks when working with temporary employees.
