Dropboix Protect

Protect your content. Control who sees it.

The more your files are shared, the harder it is to know who can see them. Dropbox Protect is a data access governance solution that shows risky file access across multiple cloud content platforms and helps you secure it.

How Dropbox Protect helps you manage content access

Understand the ways you can see, fix, and enforce access across your multi-cloud content.

Without oversight, external and public links can quickly build up over time. Find files shared outside your organization or through public links, verify with owners that access is still valid, and restrict unnecessary access using bulk remediation.

Sharing content is key for collaboration, but without visibility your sensitive company data can too easily be accessed by unauthorized users. Identify content that is shared too broadly inside and outside of your company, and restrict permissions to limit who can see what.

It can be costly and damaging when people have access to company files after they’ve left, especially when in the wrong hands. Lower the risk by making sure former employees, contractors, and vendors can no longer view or interact with files by reviewing and removing access across folders and documents.

Instead of fixing access issues manually or doing one-off remediation, create policies that cater to your organization's unique data security strategy. Trigger alerts when files are shared incorrectly, or have policies take action to automatically fix the issue so you can ensure least privilege proactively.

When AI tools and LLMs can surface any file with a single prompt, content that's shared too broadly becomes even more risky. Dropbox Protect shows you what's overshared and helps you fix it fast, so your team can adopt AI confidently, without worrying about amplifying access risks.
