Project Harmony works inside Microsoft Office tools such as PowerPoint and Excel to improve collaboration in documents and prevent situations in which two people are working on two versions of the same file, Houston said. Dropbox's consumer offering has around 275 million users who save about 1 billion files to the service every day, the company says.ĭropbox for Business launched in beta in November and retails for $15 per user per month for a minimum of five users.ĭropbox also offered a sneak peek into a set of collaboration tools it calls Project Harmony, which the company plans to release later this year. With its business version, Dropbox enters a highly competitive market where rivals Box, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and others have already made their marks. Other changes to the new version of Dropbox for Business include updates to its desktop and mobile apps, notifications, APIs, admin console, and sharing controls. Some of these features already rolled out in beta to select businesses. Admins can monitor shared folder and link creation as well as changes that employees make to shared folder and shared link permissions. The last addition - the sharing audit logs - tracks how data is shared inside and outside the company. Admins can use this option either immediately or after the user has been removed, the company said.
A paired personal account allows users the freedom of having their own account away from the team, and the knowledge that the team admin cannot access their personal account at all, as well as having a work account sync as normal.In cases where an employee leaves a team, admins can transfer that account to another team member to continue workflows. An easier way to phrase this is ‘would users like to use their work account to store personal files and folders, which the team admin controls and could potential access or delete their account entirely?’ Most likely the answer is no, since the team admin can prevent them from ever accessing their files again.
This will allow the admin to see any files or folders that the user created, or shared folders they are a member of. If Dropbox Business subscription is on the Advanced or Enterprise plans, then the team admin can s ign-in as a user to immediately view their account as they would view it on the site.The folders remain private to the user unless they actively choose to share them with someone, or if they accidentally create the folder in an existing shared folder.Users can create as many personal (aka private) folders as they wish.
