Dropbox woos large businesses with new Enterprise offering

From InfoWorld: Large enterprises have a new Dropbox product tailored for them that the company unveiled at its user conference in San Francisco on Wednesday.

Dropbox Enterprise is built on the foundation of Dropbox Business, the company's product aimed at organizations. Companies that buy it will get access to all of the features in Dropbox's business-facing offering, plus special capabilities like the ability to prevent people with certain email address domains from using them with a Dropbox personal account.

When companies set up the service's account capture feature, any employees with personal Dropbox accounts that are set up to use a company email address will have their syncing halted until they choose to either bring those accounts under the company umbrella or change the identity they use for the accounts to a personal email.

While administrators will get to see how many users have opted to keep their accounts personal, they won't know which specific users opted out of joining the Dropbox Enterprise umbrella. That could prove problematic for systems administrators who want to make sure that those users haven't exfiltrated company data using Dropbox.
