More legroom, more care, a better fit – Dropbox for Business landing soon

27 Sep 2016

If you like a bit of wiggle room then the University’s Dropbox for Business will make miles of difference.

Many of you may already use Dropbox for Business, but if you’ve never come across it before Dropbox for Business lets you securely share large files and folders with colleagues who are external to the University.

We wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to collaborate with our partners, businesses and colleagues across the world but at the same time make sure you were doing it safely and securely. That’s why we’ve put in place a contract with Dropbox that helps us to protect the information shared so it’s safe and secure and compliant with data protection laws.

It’s arriving in October. With one terabyte of space as standard per account and live 24 / 7 support, it’s free, fast and available to anyone who needs to collaborate externally.

Whether you’re already a user or have never heard of it before here are a few more reasons to get on board the University’s Dropbox for Business account and secure yourself a bit more wiggle room:

• As much space as you need
• Access to all your files from web, desktop and mobile devices
• Windows, mac, Linux, iOS and Android compatible
• Easy file sharing with anyone, even those who don’t use Dropbox
• Unlimited version history and deleted file recovery

To get on board you will first need to request the service online and accept the terms and conditions including the Dropbox information handling guidelines, for anyone uploading restricted or highly restricted files.

If you already use Dropbox and want to change to the University service, you will still need to request the service online first.

Dropbox for Business accounts will be sent to you in October, until then check in to the Dropbox for Business scenarios pack and learn what you will need to do when you receive your account, depending on how you collaborate now.
