As part of the partnership, CGI will be used to manage access to Dropbox Business accounts as employees join, move, or leave the organisation. With single sign-on (SSO), users can access their Dropbox accounts using Google login credentials, while staying protected through multi-factor authentication, including the Google Authenticator app and Titan Security Keys.

The other integrations are expected to be available to Dropbox Business customers by the end of 2018.
