6 Reasons Why Dropbox Isn't Secure Enough for Business

Sharing photos and storing family recipes may be good for Dropbox but not for business.  I hear time and time again how clients want to share files on the web or in 'the cloud'; however, Dropbox is far from the solution businesses should be using.

Bloomberg BusinessWeek bans Dropbox app
When it comes to sharing photos and storing family recipes, Dropbox is wonderful. That’s why it’s so popular with consumers. But when it comes to business, Dropbox’s consumer roots show through. It’s not right for business. In fact, Dropbox ended up on Bloomberg BusinessWeek’s list of top banned apps because there are many file management use cases for which Dropbox will actually leave your customers vulnerable.

Here are 6 reasons why Dropbox may not be suitable for your office:

1. IT has no control or visibility
2. Users can't set granular permissions
3. Data encryption is limited
4. You can't set different sharing permissions for sub-folders
5. You can't share password-protected web links
6. You can't lock files for collaborative editing.
