Your business will need to know about a few security issues using Dropbox. But unfortunately, their storage services aren’t secure.
History of security issues and breaches ⇣ĭropbox is popular – but Dropbox isn’t secureĭropbox has millions of users all over the globe that use it for personal and professional reasons.I'll show you how you can make Dropbox more secure and I’ll recommend alternative solutions to Dropbox, such as, pCloud, and Boxcryptor. In this article, I will share why Dropbox isn’t a secure storage service for your business’s data. Luckily, there are secure alternatives to using Dropbox that might be more secure and are less likely to share your data with third parties. But just because this storage service is popular, it doesn’t mean that it's secure. (To be fair, SpiderOak has also had security holes in the past, though none quite as serious as Dropbox’s breaches.) That’s why it’s incredibly important that you choose a strong, randomly-generated password and turn on two-factor authentication for every cloud service you use.Dropbox is a popular online storage service that has been around for more than a decade. If someone else knows your Dropbox password or breaks into your account through a security breach-which has happened to Dropbox a couple of times in the past-your files will all become freely accessible to them. However, neither service will protect you if some ne’er-do-well actually gains access to your account.
With SpiderOak’s ‘trust less’ approach, we have no control over the data we host for you.” Because your data is encrypted before it ever leaves your computer, the SpiderOak service can only access that jumbled mess of encryption-not the actual files you’ve stored. “The service can choose who can read the files, and even change them. “With other services, even when they use some encryption, you still are giving control over your files to the service,” says Jonathan Moore, CTO of SpiderOak. Some services, like SpiderOak One Backup, eschew those convenient features in favor of added security.
