(So say someone from Nepal is trying to access Company X’s files, and Company X doesn’t have an office there, IT can be alerted). With Splunk on its DfB platform, a big part of the worry is gone because IT now has visibility about who’s logging in from where. Take, for example, an enterprise that may have been hesitant about adopting Dropbox for Business because of security concerns. In fact, 20 prominent vendors such as Microsoft, Salesforce, Asana, Okta, onelogin, Dell and Splunk, among others, have already built solutions via an early access program that do things like fill the gap between what DfB offers and what the most paranoid IT directorsand most demanding business users require. With over 100,000 paid businesses already using Dropbox for Business (DfB) this will, no doubt, fly with the developer community. That’s because Dropbox is opening its API to developers to create enterprise applications and apps on top of the Dropbox for Business platform.

We’d like to do this with our employer’s blessing, of course, and come tomorrow we’ll be one step closer to being able to do so. With more than 300 million individual users, Dropbox has become pervasive in our lives, and we’re no more likely to refrain from using it on the job than we are to leave our mobile devices at home when we go to work. Every Enterprise File Sync and Share vendor that is trying to be Dropbox for Business can now take a seat because the actual Dropbox for Business has you beat.
