The major problem is the fact that once files are shared within Dropbox, there’s no way of knowing who might see those documents or where they might end up.
Each and every user with these files sitting on their device is a potential target for hackers looking to gain unwarranted access your sensitive information.įirms also face the external threat of malicious intent, when fired or angered employees might abuse their pre-existing access to important files and documents.
Unwarranted Accessįiles that have been sent to both current and former employees immediately fall out of the control of the company and into the hands of individuals that may not have the focus or know how to keep the information secure. While Dropbox is friendly and intuitive for sharing photos and other pieces of public information across the devices of friends and family, its system is not built for collecting, organizing, sharing and tracking critical documents where a focus on file security is paramount. As firms increasingly begin to shift their data storage to the cloud, employees have greater access to sharing and potentially exploiting sensitive information.
