There is a difference in password protecting the available folders on the machine and password protecting the SYNC FEATURE in the app itself. "Someone opens the Dropbox app and sync other folder which you didn't want to sync on that machine in first place". I think the concern (at least mine) was. Also, even I remove the files before giving the harddisk, there are ways to recover the data even if the harddisk is formatted! Isn't it? Until you are really smart and do a low level format. Yes, protecting already synced files are OS thingy and not Dropbox's concern. I think we have driven the topic a tad off-track. I guess now you all understand why I would like to password protect the dropbox folder in C: on my all.

to keep all data (excluding dropbox content) accessible to both accounts I would have to maintain duplicates of each file (1 copy for each user account, what a waste of space) - please enlighten me if windows helps dealing with this for I dont know. I would have to keep track of which user account is storing what data in which location, 3. Win 10 Home is not really user friendly when it comes to creating and managing user accounts, 2. I dont want to create different user accounts (one for personal work with documents, one for browsing, music and movies) as 1.

I am not particularly worried about the DocumentSync folder on my android phone as navigating to it is quite a task. Any file placed inside these folders gets synced to dropbox. Now the interesting thing is the "DocumentSync" folder on my android phone seems to be the android equivalent of the dropbox folder in C: on my win 10 laptop. Dropbox internet website is password protected and the dropbox app on my android phone asks for a pin. I have sensitive data in dropbox that I access on my laptop's dropbox folder in C:, android phone and the dropbox internet website. User can never come to know what folders were synced before this happened (a big security threat). The data will still be available on the machine and unlink will be pending. The unlink feature doesn't really work in a scenario where the other person simply closes Dropbox application and remove the app all together. People can then easily sync selected folders on selected machine (folder1 on machine1, folder2 on machine2 and so on.). Key Benefits: Well, the list is long but in simple world, nobody can actually get access to our entire Dropbox folder if we just synced one folder on it. This way our data can be secured on external computers. Proposed: Clicking on 'Selective Sync' option opens up an authentication window (2-step or whatever user's default is), before it even shows the folder hierarchy. Password protect 'Selective Sync' option so we can safely selective-sync folders on our work(or public) computers without being worried about someone else syncing the whole folder in our absence?Īs is Condition: Clicking 'Selective Sync' opens up a window to select the folders.
