158 Enterprise Edition Administrator Guide
Use Dropbox for Business
Cloud Edition with Dropbox for Business offers additional functionality:
• Remote Wipe a Team Member Account
• With a DDP Enterprise Server - Virtual Edition v8.4 or later, you ca
n set policies to control how business and personal
Dropbox folders are protected. If your enterprise allows both business and personal accounts, end users should
understand encryption of each type of account. See Policy for Business and Personal Accounts.
Policy for Business and Personal Accounts
Your enterprise may have guidelines on whether team members can use business and personal accounts. Also, the
enterprise may allow only certain users to have both business and personal accounts.
NOTE:
If your enterprise allows both business and personal accounts, and an end user chooses to use both, the user must understand folder
management of both account types.
The following table describes encryption based on your DDP Server and policy.
Encryption DDP Server and Policy Deployment Considerations
Encrypt all business and personal files and
folders.
DDP Enterprise Server - VE (pre-v8.4) or
Dell Enterprise Server
or
DDP Enterprise Server - VE: v8.4 or later
with
Policy >
Dropbox Encrypt Personal Folders
> set to Tr ue
(True is the default.)
Before Cloud Edition is deployed, users
should back u
p
pre-existing business files
that are in cloud storage sync folders to
locations outside the sync folders.
Users with personal files that should
r
e
main unencrypted must move the files
out of sync folders or unlink personal
accounts from business sync clients.
After Cloud Edition is deployed, cloud files
and folders can
be v
iewed only on
computers or devices running Cloud
Edition. If a personal folder becomes
unintentionally encrypted, see
Decrypting
Folders in a Personal Account
.
Encrypt all business account files and
folders.
Allow personal account files and folders to
remain
unencrypted.
DDP Enterprise Server - VE v8.4 or later
with
Policy >
Dropbox Encrypt Personal Folders
> set to False
You can use the optional
Dropbox Encrypt
Personal Folders Message
policy to display a
customized message to remind users not to
store business files in personal accounts,
since those files won’t be protected. The
message is displayed at these times:
• Each time the user logs in
• When the user creates or adds a new file
or fol
der to a personal Dropbox
account
If you set the
Dropbox Encrypt Personal
Folders
policy to False for an Endpoint or
Endpoint Group, personal accounts of all
users on those endpoints will remain
unencrypted.
Business and Personal Folders
If your enterprise has Dropbox for Business and you allow end users to have both business and personal folders, you may
want to run reports to ensure that all business files have the .xen file extension, in case an end user copies a sensitive
unprotected file into a business folder. See
Run Reports
.
