How to Monitor Dropbox file uploads

Usman raja

Hello,

I don't see any option in DLP policy to monitor Dropbox activities. I want to monitor Dropbox upload / Download do we have this?

  • Hello Usman raja,

    first of all, DLP isn't intended for monitoring but prevention. Thus you won't get logs on permitted activities (unless allow on acceptance is chosen). Furthermore it's about leakage/loss and thus "incoming data" (i.e. downloads) aren't considered by DLP at all.
    Only transfer to the available destinations can be blocked (again, it's not possible to monitor/audit allowed activity). As far as Dropbox is concerned it can be accessed via browser (but there you can't control the final destination) or the application (that would have to eb a supported destination).
