Dropbox Application Last Mile


Enjoy Dropbox's data storage platform without the hassle of ownership and governance responsibilities. With our streamlined data transfer solution, MLADU takes care of everything.

Here's how it works:

You'll receive an invitation to upload your files to a Dropbox account managed by MLADU. We'll provide all the details about the Dropbox application created exclusively for your data transfer. Once your files are securely uploaded to MLADU's Dropbox account, we'll send you an acknowledgment to confirm the initiation of the transfer process.

Rest assured, MLADU handles all post-transfer security measures, including revoking access tokens or removing the Dropbox application. Additionally, all transfers adhere to Dropbox's file size limitations and leverage their robust data integrity framework, ensuring your files are securely verified during the transfer process.

Data Storage Policies and Associated Fees

At MLADU, we specialize in efficient data transfers rather than data storage. As such, the availability of transferred data is limited to a maximum of 7 calendar days following the completion of the data transfer. Starting 3 calendar days after the transfer is completed, data storage fees will apply.

These storage fees will be directly billed to your account without any additional overhead or markup. Additionally, any volume discounts MLADU receives for utilizing the data platform will be passed on to you. Data storage costs may encompass factors such as storage based on data size, network ingress/egress fees for data access, and other platform-related charges.

For security and cost-efficiency reasons, all data will be automatically expunged from MLADU systems on the 7th calendar day after the transfer is completed. At this point, the data will no longer be accessible. Should you need the data again, you can simply initiate another transfer, which will be treated as a new transaction and charged accordingly, deducting from your available data transfer byte balance.

Recommendation for Large Data Transfers

If you're new to this process or handling data sets exceeding 1 TB, we strongly encourage running a test transfer prior to initiating the actual transfer. Our Concierge Team will proactively inquire if you'd like to conduct this test, and we highly recommend taking advantage of this service to ensure a smooth experience. While MLADU is designed for rapid data transfer, managing large data sets may pose challenges depending on your infrastructure.
