Dropbox is everywhere and often underprotected

Dropbox is a leading cloud storage platform for individuals and teams, enabling seamless file sync, sharing, and collaboration across devices. Its convenience and ubiquity make it a cornerstone for personal and business data, but native Dropbox features do not guarantee true backup, immutability, or protection against sophisticated threats. Plakar adds a critical layer: encrypted, deduplicated, and versioned snapshots of your Dropbox, stored wherever you choose, ensuring resilience against deletion, corruption, and unauthorized access.

🧠 Why protecting Dropbox matters

Dropbox syncs and shares files instantly, but sync is not backup. Accidental deletions, ransomware, or sync errors can propagate across all devices, leading to permanent data loss. Dropbox’s retention policies are limited, and recovery options may not meet compliance or audit requirements. Without immutable, externalized backups, your Dropbox data remains vulnerable to silent corruption, overwrites, or account compromise.

🔓 What happens when Dropbox is compromised or data is lost?

If Dropbox credentials are leaked, ransomware encrypts files, or a user accidentally deletes critical data, the problem can spread rapidly across all linked devices and users. Native Dropbox recovery is limited by trash expiry and retention windows, and may not cover all scenarios. Once data is gone or corrupted, recovery is often impossible without a separate backup.

Plakar addresses these risks by:

  • Creating immutable, encrypted snapshots outside Dropbox’s sync scope
  • Storing backups with your own encryption keys, isolated from Dropbox access
  • Allowing granular recovery of files or folders without full restore

Your data remains safe, verifiable, and restorable no matter what happens in your live Dropbox environment.

🛡️ How Plakar secures your Dropbox workflows

Plakar integrates with Dropbox as:

  • A source connector to snapshot Dropbox data into encrypted, deduplicated backups
  • A restore destination to rehydrate verified snapshots directly into Dropbox
  • A storage backend to persist Plakar Kloset store in Dropbox, keeping backups portable and secure

Plakar adds end-to-end encryption, global deduplication, versioning, and snapshot browsing online or offline so you control your data’s safety and recoverability.

🧰 Everything in one tool: backup, verify, restore, browse

With Plakar, you get:

  • ✅ Immutable, versioned snapshots of Dropbox data
  • 🔐 End-to-end encryption with keys you own
  • 🧠 Deduplication to minimize storage footprint
  • 🔎 Full inspection and audit via UI or CLI, without restoring
  • 📦 Offline export and long-term retention options

Plakar centralizes backup, verification, restore, and browsing for Dropbox, eliminating the need for complex scripts or third-party tools. Your Dropbox data is protected, compliant, and always recoverable on your terms.

Security by design

Reduce your attack surface by keeping encryption keys out of storage. With true end-to-end encryption, your data is protected before it leaves the source and remains unreadable even to your storage provider.

  • End-to-end encryption with modern crypto (no compromise on "at-rest/in-transit")
  • Immutable snapshots with verifiable integrity
  • Tamper-proof metadata and audit logs
  • Zero-trust-friendly architecture
"You don’t have to trust your storage provider."
