Use of Dropbox by the CGIAR

Currently, there are over 4,700 cgiar.org accounts signed-up with Dropbox, only 307 accounts of which are paid. Some of these belong to ILRI but we do not currently know which: please notify the ICT Helpdesk if you are using Dropbox for work. The adoption of Dropbox is growing exponentially. Over 255,954+ files were added in the last 28 days.

Note

  1.  This may be an avoidable expense given that the CGIAR has the right to UNLIMITED storage on Google Drive AT NO COST. Please contact ICT Services if you need help getting set up with this
  2. If you continue using Dropbox please consider using the paid version and be aware of potential security problems with the free version (see http://www.cnet.com/news/hackers-hold-7-million-dropbox-passwords-ransom/).
