Dropbox becomes more business-friendly
February 18, 2013 | Author: Michael Stromann
You've probably heard the term "Dropbox for Enterprise"? Most often this term refers not to the popular service Dropbox but rather to its competitors that are trying to create a similar service that meets enterprise security requirements. But Dropbox itself also wants play on the enterprise market. It provides Dropbox for Teams edition and is used by 2 million companies. However, in most cases, these are either small businesses (that have no admin) or companies in which admin is ignored. Because until now Dropbox for Teams didn't allow to take control of what happens inside the Dropbox for Teams. The new version of the service eliminates this problem.
Now admin can:
- See how much disk space each user is using
- See all user devices and unlink them
- See user's recent actions in the system
- Enable / disable sharing files and folders to external users
- Enable mandatory SMS-authorization
- Reset / update user passwords
In addition to this, Dropbox added some useful features for business users. First, it's more convenient PDF viewer in the mobile client. It lets you view PDF documents as a list of page thumbs and search in PDF's text. The second feature allows to receive push-notifications when someone shares folder with you.
Dropbox for Teams costs $795 per year for 5 users
