Why do we recommend Dropbox?
We have found employee use of Dropbox has proliferated in businesses across the globe to conduct business. It’s just not small business owners; it’s mid-market and enterprises that can now control and share files, folders, and information more efficiently. This expansion has led organizations to take control and grab hold of their most prized possession: data and the time these files took to be created. Yes, time is money!

Key Benefits Of Dropbox
Accessibility and Mobility:
Access from anywhere: The core strength of Dropbox lies in its accessibility. You can access your files from any device with an internet connection, be it your computer, phone, or tablet. This eliminates the need to carry physical storage devices and allows you to work on files remotely or on the go.
Offline access: Dropbox also offers selective offline access, allowing you to mark certain files for offline availability. This ensures you can view or edit them even without an internet connection.
File Management and Sharing:
Automatic syncing: Changes made to files on one device are automatically reflected on all other connected devices. This ensures you always have the latest version at your fingertips.
Easy file sharing: Sharing files with others is simple and convenient. You can create shareable links that allow others to download or view files without requiring a Dropbox account.
Collaboration tools: Dropbox offers basic collaboration features like shared folders and file commenting, enabling teamwork on projects within the platform.
Security and Backup:
Data encryption: Files stored in Dropbox are encrypted both at rest and in transit, adding a layer of security against unauthorized access.
Version history: Dropbox keeps track of past versions of your files, allowing you to recover them in case of accidental edits or deletions.
Selective sync: You can choose which folders to sync on specific devices, saving storage space and bandwidth.
What Are The Challenges With Using Dropbox?
I can not find who owns file or folder and how can run a report to see ownership?
Yes we can help run reports but when it comes to finding information fast. We recommend Dropbox API's into your Dropbox instance. We can run any of the API's listed and out-of-the-box from the Dropbox API Developer website.
What security controls can we turn on?
As a Dropbox Services partner and cloud consultant, we will ensure that Dropbox is configured, deployed and managed securely for your organization. Every industry and organization has its requirements when it comes to compliance and protecting employee and customer data. With administrative controls, open APIs and third-party security apps for Data Loss Prevention, Identity Management, Enterprise Mobility Management and more, we can configure your Dropbox to meet your needs.

File Naming Convention
We come across files being named with **ABCcompany.doc where they used the ** because they want it at the top of their file system to find. We also see nested folders. We had one client that had nine nested folders of the same name. For example, Acme>Acme Accounting>Acme Accounts Payable>Acme 2017>Acme January. They used the same word for all the nested folders when they were in the Acme Folder. There is no need for this to happen in a firm. If you have this problem, I recommend you start to tackle immediately.
Preferred file naming convention we use.
07102018filename
Always use date first with the full name of the file. Search engines both locally and cloud can find all the words when they are together and not separated; and for those that need space, make sure you use a minus sign. So the file would be like 07-10-2018-file-name.
More restricted content in your folder structure should live in a higher-level folder.
Upon new folder creation, a good rule of thumb is to invite other collaborators and external users further down the folder structure. Because of Dropbox waterfall permissions, users' access only flows down to subfolders. Thus, your sensitive, most confidential content should be in a folder towards the top of your structure that will remain more private.
Ensure naming conventions of folders and files are extremely clear.
Users will be invited in at different folder levels, and that level will appear as their "root folder." Clear, consistent naming conventions will help the user stay oriented in the folder structure and will help with searching for content. For example, being invited to a folder titled "Sales - Corporate Team" is more explanative than the title "Corporate"
