Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. — Benjamin Franklin

In this blog we are going to analyse and discuss how safe and secure the services that Dropbox offer, really are.

Over recent years, Dropbox has suffered multiple hacking attacks due to its strong reputation within the market. On the one hand, it is clear that Dropbox is still a target for cyber attacks but on the other, it shows that they clearly aren’t equipped or prepared to deal with the oncoming attacks.

One famous case of Dropbox being hacked was when over 65 million users’ email addresses were exposed, as well as this the hackers were able to take information that belonged to various users.

Multiple users’ have suffered numerous losses in information and it has become clear that many organisations that once relied on the services of Dropbox are now looking to alternatives in the market.

In relation to a company, Dropbox is not recommended given that it uses a system of synchronization, this means that every user can obtain a copy of the company’s information on the device on which they have installed the application and as a result the privacy is reduced and are therefore not meeting the regulations of data protection and the guarantee of digital rights.
