Dropbox Ransomware Responding to any attack (demo)

How to view ransomware alerts and respond to potential threats

Dropbox helps protect your team from ransomware with smart alerts and simple recovery.

Admins can enable the Ransomware Suspected alert in the Admin Console under Alert Policies. Once it's on, Dropbox monitors for unusual activity and flags any potential ransomware threats.

If there's an alert, you'll see details like which users were affected, how many files were impacted, and when it happened. From there, you can suspend the affected user to stop the spread and use Dropbox Rewind to restore files to a clean version before the attack.
