Tech News: Dropbox Pursues Big Businesses

  Dropbox has just introduced Dropbox Enterprise. It has similar security features, administrative capabilities, and collaboration services as Dropbox Business, but leveled up to handle bigger companies.

The scaled up Dropbox service will cater to large organizations as to handling their day-to-day needs of information processing and storage.

"IT can give employees the Dropbox they love while getting the advanced capabilities they need to effectively onboard and manage tens of thousands of users, protect company data, and get the most from their investment," head of product at Dropbox for Business, Rob Baesman, wrote in a blog post.

According to PCMag, the service includes quick-and-easy migration to enterprise accounts, increased visibility over personal Dropbox usage and control of how employees use the program, and unlimited access to the company's API and platform team.

Moreover, the launch of Dropbox Enterprise also introduced all new features of the existing Dropbox Business, as well as the new Dropbox Enterprise. These are the ability to disable a user's account access before deleting it, sign in as a user to maintain business continuity, and add custom branding to shared link pages.

According to Baesman, Dropbox is currently signing Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with business and enterprise customers, which is an "important step" toward helping people meet Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act compliance obligations.

The new service will help Dropbox score some number of major business players, especially those higher end companies and large organizations.

Dropbox launched its Dropbox Business way back 2011. It has been rebranded in 2013 wherein switching between personal and business accounts was made easier. And today, it has been leveled up to cater and diversify their clientele.

Do you have a dropbox account? Do you think big companies and large organizations will consider getting their services such as the Dropbox Enterprise?
