Security alerts is a feature available to Dropbox Business teams on an Enterprise plan, and means that admins will receive email notifications if suspicious behavior, risky activity, and potential da...
while good in theory, this isn't very practical. in order to make this practical/useful, the following changes should be made :
- communicate the specific criteria used to trigger alerts [what constitutes a 'large' amount of data or 'too many' sign in attempts ? what are the thresholds of 'informational', 'low', 'medium', 'high' ? ...etc.]
- allow admins to configure these values so they're appropriate to their specific use cases. for example, an admin may want to place an especially high priority on the malware alert [which is currently impossible].
- when an admin does make a change to an alert, reflect that change in the control panel. currently, changing the sensitivity of the mass-deletion or mass-move alerts is possible, but the alerts policies page still displays the old severity levels [probably a bug, as revisiting the alert edit page shows the new values].
