Onboarding Dropbox Applications
- From the Management Console, select Administration > App Management, and click New.
- From the Choose an app list, select Dropbox.
- Enter a Name.The name must include only alphanumeric characters, with no special characters other than the underscore, and no spaces.
- (Optional) Enter a Description.
- From the Configuration page, select one or more protection models:
- App Authentication
- App Access
- API Access
- Dynamic DRM
- Cloud Data Discovery (CDD)
- Enter configuration information.The fields available depend on the protection models you selected.
- If you selected only App Authentication, no other configuration is required. Click Next.
-
If you selected App Access, enter the Custom HTTP Header Name and the Custom HTTP Header Value Proxy.
These fields are configured on the cloud type level (as opposed to the cloud application level). If this is the first Dropbox cloud application you are onboarding, the values you enter in these two fields will apply to all other Dropbox cloud applications you onboard.
If this is not the first Dropbox cloud application you are onboarding, these field values will be initialized from the first onboarded Dropbox cloud application. If all of your onboarded Dropbox cloud applications must be independent of one another, make sure that the Custom HTTP Header Value field is empty for all of your Dropbox cloud applications.
-
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.
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 models selected. It includes two options:
- 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. Click Authorize and enter your Dropbox administrator sign-in credentials.
- If you selected Dynamic DRM, you must also select either API Access or App Access. Then, enter the configuration information needed for either of those protection models.
- 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.
