What can I do with the admin console?

Click Help to access resources like the help center, the Dropbox Community, and to explore your different support option.

Available to all admins except Billing and Content admins, the Dashboard allows you to gather insights into your team’s usage, the tools included in your plan, and provides an at-a-glance view of security.

The Members page allows you to add or remove team members, monitor their activity, and take quick actions, like resetting passwords or adding another member as an admin.

With the Activity page, you can monitor your team’s activity in Dropbox.

You can also generate activity reports to view a record of every event over a specific date range. Reports can be created for individual users or entire team accounts.

Note: This function is only available to certain types of admins.

The Content page allows certain types of admins to view, audit, create, and manage access to all team content.

You can also look at any team member’s member folders and any folders that you may not have access to as a non-admin Dropbox user.

By clicking Manage Access on any folder, you can set who can access content, their permissions, and choose folder settings.

With the Groups page, team members can create customized lists of people who need access to the same files and folders, making it easier to manage large teams. Admins can tailor group access to ensure the right people have the right level of access to the right content.

On the Billing page, admins can add more licenses to their organization's Dropbox plan, update billing information, and review billing history.

On the Settings page, certain types of admins can set team-wide settings on sharing, SSO or two-factor authentication, and more.

On the Security page, the team admin and security admin can set alert policies and be notified to any suspicious activity. With security alerts, admins will receive email notifications whenever suspicious behavior, risky activity, and potential data leaks are detected.

Security alerts are available to teams on Dropbox Standard or Business who have purchased the Security add-on, and to teams on Dropbox Business Plus, Advanced, or Enterprise.

Once you’re logged into your account, go to the admin console and click Activity.

The Activity page is the place where you can see a record of the actions taken by your team.

It helps admins see how often their team uses Dropbox, who’s using it, and for what. Admins can also use the Activity page to investigate and fix minor issues like accidental file deletions.

The activity log allows admins to view events and activities related to passwords, logins, admin actions, apps, devices, sharing, and membership.

Each entry in the activity log displays some additional information about member actions. The entries show:

• Date and time: Exact date and time that an action took place

• Member: Member who took the action

• Activity: Details of the action itself

• Location: Location from which the user initiated the action and the IP address of the machine they were using
