Couple this with our trust in the Dropbox brand, the fact that Dropbox communicates with us directly into our email inbox, as well as communicate to contacts via Dropbox, and you have the perfect storm for phishing. This heightened profile and prolific presence throughout our personal and working lives means that Dropbox has entered the sights of the cybercriminal.

I addition to this, we allow Dropbox to be a conduit for communication of those files with other parties. Consequently, we trust Dropbox with some of our most sensitive and personal data. It has created a sense of trust between the Cloud repository, that is Dropbox, and ourselves – the consumers of that repository. Dropbox as a company has done something very special. Dropbox has a hand outwards from our computer into the Cloud and beyond. It has, since its inception in 2007, entered our working lives, many of us using it daily, to augment our communications and store our documents and files. This all makes Dropbox a familiar presence. Dropbox has its extended fingers right across the planet, both as a tool for individuals and for business.

Dropbox is also a collaborative tool, with 3.3 billion shared connections. As of May 2016, Dropbox had over 500 million registered users with around 1.2 billion files uploaded to Dropbox every day. Dropbox, the handy Cloud based storage for files, has been one of those amazing tech success stories.
