Dropbox updated its Terms of Service effective January 1, 2027, governing use of its services, client software, and websites. Users in North America agree with Dropbox, Inc., while those outside North America contract with Dropbox International Unlimited Company. The Terms cover account usage, data handling via 'Your Stuff', permissions for features like OCR and sharing, and compliance with Privacy and Acceptable Use Policies.

Paid multi-user team members remain bound by both these Terms and their Dropbox Services Agreement. Actions on one account, such as removal by an admin, may affect access to other accounts using the same email. Dropbox emphasizes user ownership of content and limited rights granted to enable services.

The update includes references to DocSend and Dropbox Sign terms for users with separate accounts. Continued use signifies agreement to all applicable policies.
