2011: Password bug
In June 2011, Dropbox experienced a major security breach due to a bug that allowed any password to access any account for four hours—provided a hacker had access to the email or username. During those four hours, all Dropbox accounts were vulnerable.
2012: Password breach
In 2012, Dropbox usernames and passwords were stolen from other sites, leading to a major breach. Dropbox didn't disclose the full extent until 2016, revealing that 68 million users were compromised, making it one of the largest cloud storage and internet breaches in history.
2018: Data shared without consent
In 2018, a Harvard study* used anonymized data from Dropbox without users' consent to collaborate with research teams. Although the data was anonymized, sharing user data with third parties without permission is a huge breach of trust, transparency, and your online privacy. Link to study
2022: Phishing attack
In November 2022, a phishing attack stole a Dropbox employee’s credentials by impersonating GitHub. The attack also stole and leaked emails and passwords from numerous employees online. GitHub, not Dropbox, detected the attack.

Privacy and security
Your Files, Your Control
Open-Source Code
Internxt's code is open for everyone to examine it and ensure its security via our GitHub. This transparency guarantees that no vulnerabilities are hidden.
End-to-End Encryption
Your data is encrypted on the client side, guaranteeing that only you can access it.
Audited
Security experts at a leading European penetration testing company have reviewed and verified Internxt's services as secure against data breaches and hacks.
Secure, but private?
Proprietary software
Dropbox keeps its source code hidden from the public. With no transparency, there is no way to know for sure how Dropbox handles or protects your data.
Encryption by Dropbox
As Dropbox holds the encryption keys, it means that Dropbox (and potentially anyone who gains access to Dropbox’s systems) can theoretically decrypt and access the files if it receives a legal request (such as a subpoena).
Data breaches
Dropbox has a terrible track record of data breaches that have leaked customer passwords and employee information. It also has a history of working with third parties, which can increase your risk of a data breach by sharing data with other companies.
Cost and value
Complete Security at No Extra Cost
Affordable, flexible plans
Our attractive and diverse storage plans are suitable for personal or business use.
Anonymous account creation
All data, including passwords and email, is encrypted and protected from the moment you create an account.
More money, less privacy
Limited, expensive plans
Dropbox is one of the most expensive cloud storage providers and offers users very few storage options. This limits your ability to scale your storage as and when needed.
Access to features
To access all of Dropbox’s features, you must be on the most premium plan. This limits accessibility to important features, making security and privacy more inaccessible.
