Announcing the Dropbox End of Availability:

Dropbox is no longer the recommended cloud storage solution at Chapman University.

In 2021, IS&T announced our updated guidance on the preferred platforms for cloud storage and file sharing activity. Microsoft OneDrive (and related Microsoft products) remain our recommended choice for file storage for students, faculty, and staff. Google Drive is still available but with new quotas due to the ending of unlimited storage. 

Dropbox licenses will no longer be generally available for Chapman users after June 2024.

Reasons for this change include:
 

  • A desire to move the University towards a common platform available to all faculty, staff, and students
  • End of unlimited storage, which has significantly driven up costs
  • Enhanced security features available in OneDrive 

Note that free or personally paid accounts will not be restricted from running, but we highly recommend using alternatives for Chapman University data. A web link with additional information on data migrations is included at the bottom of this article.
