    API Data Protection for Dropbox
    Create an API Data Protection Policy
    Content

    Content

    This section of the API Data Protection Policy page specifies files, objects, and messages that trigger a policy violation.

    For Dropbox, you can select one of the following options:

    • All Sharing Options: Scans all sharing options like private, public, shared internally, and shared externally.
    • Specific Sharing Options: With specific sharing options, you can choose all or specific sharing types, like:
      • Private: A file not shared with anyone.
      • Public: A file that is shared or open to the public.
      • Shared internally: A file shared specifically with users within the same sub-domain of the organization. To set thresholds for when content sharing triggers a policy violation, select Advanced Options and enter the number of internal or external collaborators that need to be detected for a policy violation to occur.

        Note

        The Shared Internally option will not trigger a policy if the file or folder has a public sharing link.

      • Shared externally: A file shared specifically with users outside the organization. You can select All External Domains, specific external domains, or exclude a specific domain by selecting the All External Domains Except option. If you select the All External Domains Except option, choose the domain to be excluded from a policy trigger. You can create a new domain by selecting the Create New option. To set thresholds for when content sharing triggers a policy violation, select Advanced Options and enter the number of internal or external collaborators that need to be detected for a policy violation to occur.

        Note

        The Shared Externally option will not trigger a policy if the file or folder has a public sharing link.
