We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the Dropbox experience with new feature offerings and ensure that our policies explain how our services work. So we’re letting you know about a few updates to our Dropbox Services Agreement, Terms of Service, and Privacy Policy. Here’s a summary of the key changes:

Dropbox Services Agreement   
  • We’ve clarified your and Dropbox’s right to disclose confidential information in the event of certain types of regulatory audits. 
  • We’ve changed the scope of your and Dropbox’s indemnification obligations in the case of misuse, and we’ve updated what happens when a customer experiences an acquisition or change of control. 
  • We’ve clarified that Dropbox may now only be used by those over 18. 
  • We’ve made some stylistic and structural changes to improve the clarity of the Agreement.
Terms of Service
  • We’ll begin allowing users to access multiple individual and team workspaces with a single account. We’ve revised our Terms to explain what it means if you use this feature. 
  • We’ve clarified that Dropbox may now only be used by those over 18. 
  • We’ve updated our policies on refunds, the notice period for changes to our fees, and users’ obligations if they don’t agree to updates to our Terms of Service. 
  • We’ve changed the time period of inactivity required before we may terminate non-paying accounts to 6 consecutive months. We’ll continue to provide notice before doing so.
  • We’ve clarified what happens if you use your corporate email address to join a non-Team plan. 
Privacy Policy
  • We’ve added details on how your data is handled when you access multiple individual and team workspaces with a single account, including clarifying what team admins can see. 
  • We’ve further explained our collection and use of your data to better identify what data is being used for which purposes.
  • We’ve included additional details on how to appeal decisions we make about how we handle your data.
