Sorry, I’m not sure.  I know they allow you to have two separate accounts but 
through Websense we limit them to only the assigned business account.  Dropbox 
states the data is kept completely separate when you have multiple accounts but 
I’ve not tested the wipe with multiple accounts.

Just curious about the DropBox service, not sure whether you can answer this 
question or if I should do some proper research, but it's worth a try.... :-)
If an employee has their personal and business DropBox account sync'ed on their 
laptop, and you use the remote wipe feature, can that just wipe the business 
data or would it do both?

Also, can you stop them from taking documents from the business account and 
popping them into their personal account?

Cheers,


JR

You are correct, they do not provide encryption-at-rest on the client devices,

That’s encryption-in-flight and not encryption-at-rest though right?

They have 256bit AES encryption and I believe they have a two step verification 
of users but we do not use that feature. .  We can remotely wipe devices which 
I had to do recently with a lost iPad.  They have allow users to recover their 
own files.

You can restrict access to specific devices but only after the device has been 
used to sync on.  We use Websense for this feature.

Does DropBox Business use any form of encryption or protection for the data? 
Can you restrict it to certain devices for access?

We have a very serious and very long electronics policy I can send you if you 
like.  We use Drop Box Business account which is linked with AD and allows us 
to control who can use it and who they can share with.  We use Websense Triton 
to verify they are only using their business drop box account.  It also 
regulates what each user is allowed to share.

Do any of you guys have a written policy about using Dropbox-like services for 
company business?
