To keep your data protected, Dropbox uses the following measures:
Files are encrypted using the 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), the strongest method of AES encryption available. By requiring 256 key combinations, AES would take billions of years to crack with current technology, making it virtually impenetrable by hackers using so-called “brute-force” methods.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are used to protect data as it transfers between Dropbox apps and our servers.
Our systems undergo regular testing for security vulnerabilities, allowing us to continuously enhance our security against ever-evolving tactics used by hackers.
Two-step verifications allows users to keep their accounts secure from login attempts, with the ability to verify by text or with an authenticator app.
