Protect sensitive information beyond traditional types of encryption methods
Dropbox is designed with multiple layers of protection, including secure data transfer, modern data encryption standards, encrypted block storage, and application-level controls distributed across a scalable, secure infrastructure.
Data protection
We protect your files in transit between our apps and servers, and at rest.
Files split into discrete blocks
Files are split into discreet, individually encrypted blocks.
Delta sync
Only blocks that have been modified are synced.
Secure your data and protect your privacy with encryption
You own your data, and whether it’s your personal or work information, Dropbox encryption methods will keep it private. We are dedicated to ensuring that your information is always protected, secure, and only used for the purposes described in our privacy policy.
Prevent unauthorized access
Only the people you want to have access to your data should be able to access it. To that end, we've published clear policies to outline how our encryption works and put in place controls that protect your data and limit the collection, use, and disclosure of your information without your authorization.
