Introducing: Managed sharing for Dropbox teams

Now, if you're the team admin of a Dropbox team, you can control how team members can share with people outside the team. Find out more about this here. Audience: This is available to admins only More ideas: We would love to hear your input on how to improve the Admin console, so why not submit an idea?

So if your admin isn’t available, you can keep your team rolling! Learn more here. Vault is now available to users on the Dropbox Plus, Professional, and Family plans. You might have heard about Vault already, and now it’s available on more Dropbox plans. Keep your most important files safe and well organized, with a PIN for secure access. Enjoy peace of mind knowing that you can designate trusted people to access your files in an emergency. Learn even more about it here. New grid icon: The app launcher is a launching point for Dropbox products and third party integrations. You can find it in the right hand corner of Dropbox.com, it looks like a little grid. Now you can move between your apps a lot easier and access products and features from any screen. Configure your team’s desktop app preferences with GPO: This one is for admins of Dropbox Business teams. You can now configure your team members’ Dropbox desktop app preferences remotely using GPO (Group Policy Object). You can configure preferences for individual team members, groups of team members, or whole teams - read more about it here. Import and Invite contacts from Google Directory As an admin, you will now be able to import and invite contacts from Google Directory into your team.
