DropboxAccess Data Collector

The DropboxAccess Data Collector audits access, group membership, and content within a Dropbox environment. Using Sensitive Data Discovery, Dropbox can scan the contents of over 400 file types to discover which files contain sensitive data. The Dropbox Solution includes the preconfigured DropboxAccess Data Collector. Both this data collector and the solution are available with a special Access Analyzer license. See the Dropbox Solution topic for additional information.

Sensitive Data Discovery Considerations

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 (8 x 2 = 16).

Query Configuration

You configure the DropboxAccess Data Collector through the Dropbox Access Auditor Data Collector Wizard. The wizard contains the following pages, which change based upon the query category selected:

• Welcome
• DropboxAccess: Category
• DropboxAccess: Scan Options
• DropboxAccess: Scoping
• DropboxAccess: DLP Audit Settings
• DropboxAccess: Select DLP Criteria
• DropboxAccess: Summary (Completion)

To hide the Welcome page, select the Don't display this page the next time checkbox while the wizard is open, then save the configuration settings.
