TruePrivacy + Dropbox
Discover personal data stored in Dropbox files.
Overview
Dropbox is used by millions of businesses to store and share files, many of which contain personal data. TruePrivacy connects to Dropbox via OAuth 2.0 to scan files and folders for personal data, helping organizations bring this often-ungoverned data store into their compliance programme.
