Is the data transferred to Sharepoint using power automate encrypted?

Hi, I use a Microsoft PowerAutoamte flow to auto transfer files uploaded to Dropbox to a Sharepoint site. What security is in place when the files are being copied from Dropbox to SharePoint? Thank you

    It's more likely that Microsoft created it and is just using the Dropbox API. You'll want to direct your questions about it to Microsoft.

    Hi Hayeso, thanks for posting here today!

     

    In regards to how Dropbox keeps your files secure, you can always have a look into the relevant Help Center article. 

     

    However, it seems your question isn't exactly Dropbox-specific, but should be mostly targeted on Microsoft's end. I did some research and I was able to locate this, which might help.

     

    I hope this clarifies!

      Hi @Megan,

      Thank you for that. I have been searching bot Dropbox and MS support for clarity, but I can not find the detail I need, which is whether or not the files are encrypted while being transferred from Dropbox to Sharepoint using this connector. I am using the connector you linked to, but that does not provide any information with regard to the actual transfer process. Searching on the web has not revealed any answer either.

      I contacted Dropbox support as I presume (until someone can show otherwise), that Dropbox have built the connector you linked to and which I am using, and thus are the appropriate people to ask if it uses encryption while transferring the files in the cloud.

      I hope that makes sense.
      With thanks.
