Does Dropbox have native virus scan capability?

I am using dropbox file create request api's to upload a file to dropbox and I realised there is no virus scan happening on the uploaded file.

 

Wanted to check this forum if anyone has come across this situation and Does dropbox offer virus scanning while uploading files.

    Hi venk19, thanks for messaging the Community.

     

    Currently, there is no virus scanning on files uploaded to Dropbox, although there is ransomware detection in this add-on for a Dropbox Business plan. 

     

    If you have any further queries, feel free to message back.
