Weekly Dropbox Shared Link Audit
Review all Dropbox shares in one place—find overshared files and old links
Nora audits all your Dropbox shared links weekly, identifies which are still active, who has access, and flags links older than 6 months for cleanup.
It's easy to lose track of Dropbox links you've shared over time. Nora runs weekly and lists all shared links, showing the file name, share date, access level (view/edit), and number of people with access. It flags links shared more than 6 months ago and identifies any with edit access (more permissive). You get a report showing all shares ranked by age, and Nora suggests removing old links or downgrading to view-only. This is critical for contractors, consultants, and agencies handling client work—you need visibility into what you've shared and when. Compliance teams love this for audit trails.
Runs every monday at 9:00 am using Dropbox, run by your Operations Manager.
