Why it matters

California residents have stronger legal protections than most other US users and can take specific actions to limit how Dropbox uses and shares their personal information.

Consumer impact

Dropbox collects extensive personal data including file contents, usage patterns, device identifiers, and contacts, and may use this data to train and improve AI and machine learning features. Business account administrators have significant control over employee accounts, including the ability to access, restrict, or delete content stored in those accounts. You can review and adjust your privacy settings, request data deletion, or opt out of certain data uses by visiting the Dropbox Privacy Settings page at dropbox.com/account/security.

What you can do

āš ļø These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    California residents can submit a data deletion or access request through Dropbox's privacy request portal. Log in to your account and navigate to Privacy Settings or use the dedicated privacy request form linked from the privacy policy page.

Applicable agencies

  • State AG
    The California Attorney General enforces CCPA/CPRA rights including data deletion, opt-out from data sale, and non-discrimination protections.
