DropboxAccess Data Collector

The DropboxAccess Data Collector audits access, group membership, and content within a Dropbox environment. Dropbox can scan the contents of over 400 file types to discover which files contain sensitive data using the Sensitive Data Discovery Add-on. Netwrix preconfigures the DropboxAccess Data Collector within the Dropbox Solution. Both this data collector and the solution are available with a special Enterprise Auditor license. See the Dropbox Solution topic for additional information.

Sensitive Data Discovery Considerations

The Sensitive Data Discovery Add-On must be installed on the Enterprise Auditor Console server, which enables Sensitive Data criteria for scans. If you run Sensitive Data Discovery (SDD) scans, increase the minimum amount of RAM. Each thread requires a minimum of 2 additional GB of RAM per host. For example, if you configure the job to scan 8 hosts at a time, it requires an extra 16 GB of RAM (8x2=16).
