Restricting dropbox to permitted (company) devices

I have dropbox business for our office and am trying to limit access/installation to company-issued devices. We don't want our employees to install and sync company dropbox account onto their own personal devices due to security reasons.  Quite simply, company files are one lost and unsecured computer / laptop away from being lost to the real world. Is there a way to do this?

    Hi PeteX, thanks for messaging the Community.

     

    On Dropbox teams, you should have the option for device approvals within the admin console, which would do what you're asking.

     

    If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
