With its business version, Dropbox enters a highly competitive market where rivals Box, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and others have already made their marks. Other changes to the new version of Dropbox for Business include updates to its desktop and mobile apps, notifications, APIs, admin console, and sharing controls. Some of these features already rolled out in beta to select businesses. Admins can monitor shared folder and link creation as well as changes that employees make to shared folder and shared link permissions. The last addition - the sharing audit logs - tracks how data is shared inside and outside the company. Admins can use this option either immediately or after the user has been removed, the company said. In cases where an employee leaves a team, admins can transfer that account to another team member to continue workflows.
