Onboarding Dropbox applications

This section outlines procedures for onboarding Dropbox cloud applications.

  1. From the Management Console, select Administration > App Management, and click New.

  2. From the Choose an app list, select Dropbox.

  3. Enter a Name (required) and a Description (optional). The name must include only alphanumeric characters, with no special characters other than the underscore, and no spaces. Then, click Next.

  4. From the Configuration page, select one or more protection models:

  • API Access

  • Cloud Data Discovery (CDD)

  1. Enter the following configuration information. The fields you see depend on the protection models you selected in the previous step.

  • If you selected API Access, enter one or more internal domains.

    You can also configure Archive Settings. These settings enable archiving of files that are either permanently deleted or replaced by Content Digital Rights policy actions. Archived files are placed in an Archive folder under a CASB Compliance Review folder created for the cloud application. You can then review the files and restore them if needed.

    Note

    When the authorized administrator for a cloud account is changed, previously archived content in the CASB Compliance Review folder that is owned by the previous administrator should be shared with the new authorized administrator to enable archived data to be reviewed and restored.

    The Archive Settings option is available for onboarded cloud applications with API Access and Cloud Data Discovery protection modes selected.

    Two options are available:

  • Remove from Trash

  • Archive

    For Permanent Delete policy actions, both options are disabled by default; for Content Digital Rights, they are enabled by default.

    Click the toggles to enable or disable the settings. If you select the Archive action, also select the Remove from Trash option.

    Enter the number of days for which to retain archived files. The default value is 30 days.

    Then, click Authorize, and enter your Dropbox administrator login credentials.

  1. Click Next and review a summary to verify that all information is correct. If it is, click Save. The new cloud application is added to the App Management page.
