This integration results in two-way updates between Dropbox and Overleaf. If you rename your projects to all have unique names, then you'll be able to link to Dropbox again.
To prevent edits from being applied to the wrong project, we unlink Dropbox if we detect multiple projects with the same name. Even if projects are archived or trashed, project names must be unique across your entire Overleaf account in order to activate Dropbox syncing. For premium users who wish to enable collaborators to sync locally, we recommend the Git or GitHub sync options.īecause Overleaf projects are associated with Dropbox folders, in order to synchronize with Dropbox your project names must be unique. Please note that having Dropbox synchronization turned on does not enable your collaborators to also sync projects to their local Dropbox folders (unless they also have a premium subscription). This feature allows you to access the contents of your projects including the complete source code and image files of your projects outside of Overleaf, backup your work online across multiple devices, and access your work offline to work on independently. Your Overleaf updates are automatically pushed to Dropbox and any changes you make in Dropbox are automatically reflected in your Overleaf projects. Overleaf’s Dropbox Synchronization feature allows you to synchronize your Overleaf projects with a Dropbox folder. Overleaf premium features are available to participants in Overleaf Commons, members of group subscriptions, and owners of individual subscriptions. Box.com, for example, takes a similar approach.Dropbox Synchronization is a premium feature. It also gives access to anyone who manages to breach their security. This is a common problem with cloud storage. It not only gives Dropbox access to your files. It also means that if you ever have a problem with your account, they can help you to get your files back. From a security standpoint, however, this is problematic. This makes the service significantly faster. When you upload files to Dropbox, they keep a copy of your encryption key.
If somebody wants to launch a phishing website to steal personal, financial, or business data, it just makes sense that they would target that website to Dropbox users. Much like malware developers are more likely to target Windows than iOS, Dropbox is the cloud storage provider of choice for those trying to steal confidential files. This number is great for PR, not to mention profitability. Dropbox Is a Target for Cybercrimeĭropbox has over 15 million paying users. This is particularly problematic because many of the files that reappeared were a number of years old.
