GDPR - server location
We are considering purchasing a team account standard.
Does this account guarantee the server location in the EU - or even better in Germany?
We need to know this because of the GDPR.
- 7 years agoHi there, data stored in Dropbox is located in the EU and US.We continue to offer to host business customers’ files in Europe if they choose this option however the personal data that is entrusted to us is protected equally under GDPR whether it is hosted in Europe or the US.
Currently the ability to store files on our European infrastructure is available only to European Dropbox Business, Enterprise, and Education customers with 250+ licenses.

So sad you are treating smaller companies so badly.
If we need to store our data in a right GDPR-complient way, we need to change the service.
We would pay a higher fee for storing data only within the EU - but if it is not possible...
- Jay7 years agoDropbox StaffI understand how you feel. If there was another option I would’ve let you know, but the only method to have your data stored on an EU server is as I mentioned previously.

Just as a side note as well please remember that this law has now been in place a month or so.... so you need to think about what you are doing quickly if you are deeming Dropbox none-compliant.
