<p>Dropbox took a huge step toward becoming a legitimate enterprise tool when it announced new administrative controls for its Dropbox for Teams product today.</p><p>While we have seen many cases of Dropbox emerging as an enterprise file sharing tool, certainly one of its chief limitations from a security point of view was a lack of administrative controls, and this announcement addresses customer concerns around that issue.</p><p>The new tools let administrators using Dropbox for Teams access a console with document usage statistics, such as number of downloads and other information like team log-ins, team invitations and so forth. More importantly, the administrator now has a sharing control that lets you control, at the folder level, which documents and links the team is allowed to share outside the company. The administrator can shut off outside sharing altogether or let team members set permissions.</p><p>You can shut down a linked device, and when an employee leaves the company, you can delete their account, or you can convert it to an individual Dropbox account. What's more, you can set up two-step verification for logging in, and if you had a breach, you can reset all passwords in a single step. You can also keep track of the number of licenses you have, and view your recent invoices and payments.</p><p><a href="http://www.fiercecontentmanagement.com/story/dropbox-takes-aim-enterprise-new-administrative-controls/2013-02-12-0">Keep reading...</a></p>
