Case Study: Chapman University achieves rapid, secure faculty collaboration and cost savings with Dropbox Education

Chapman University - Customer Case Study

Chapman University needed a more secure, efficient way for faculty to share research and coursework than CDs, USBs, or personal file‑sharing accounts. IT wanted a flexible, easy-to-use platform that would encourage adoption across a mixed PC/Mac/mobile environment while giving administrators better visibility and control.

By rolling out Dropbox Education via a self‑service portal, Chapman saw rapid adoption — roughly 30% of faculty and staff (about 300 users) in one week — and immediate benefits: recorded lectures and shared research folders accessible globally (the pharmacy department uploads eight hours of lectures daily), stronger security and device oversight through the Admin Console, reduced email use and support requests, and measurable cost and productivity savings.
