Default Sharing Options for Dropbox and Google
UF Information Technology is implementing new measures to the default sharing settings across UF's collaboration platforms to improve the security of shared files and links.
In order to allow more time to adjust previously existing links, the previously announced changes to the default sharing settings in UF's Dropbox and Google environment are postponed.
Currently, Dropbox’s default sharing settings allow users to share files and links with “edit” access to anyone indefinitely.
At a future date that will be announced soon, new default sharing settings in UF's Dropbox environment will be implemented.
The current default sharing settings for the Google suite allow shared files to be set to “public” access without authentication.
At a future date that will be announced soon, new default sharing settings in UF's Google environment will be implemented.
