In the second phase, ITS plans to integrate Dropbox with MCommunity groups so that users can quickly share files and folders with colleagues across U-M.
This will cover 99.97 percent of the storage needs of current users when compared with what is stored in Box at U-M. Initially, faculty, staff and students will have access to individual Dropbox accounts, which include 5 terabytes for data storage.
ITS is taking a phased approach in rolling out Dropbox at U-M. “Dropbox at U-M supports these competencies in a familiar, secure and easy-to-use package.” “We are constantly looking at ways to enhance our community’s ability to innovate, collaborate and share knowledge,” said Ravi Pendse, vice president for information technology and chief information officer. Details and a list of sensitive data types permitted for use with Dropbox are included in ITS’s Sensitive Data Guide.
U-M’s agreement with Dropbox includes a business associate agreement, which allows for the storage of protected health information regulated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. Dropbox is a cloud-based storage option that lets users organize different content types in a single place, share documents with secure links from any device, and access important documents on the go.
