Case Study: University of Sydney achieves faster research collaboration and stronger data governance with Dropbox

University of Sydney - Customer Case Study

The University of Sydney, a top‑100 global university with campuses across Australia and international partners, faced fragmented data storage and insecure collaboration as researchers increasingly relied on personal file‑sharing tools. This created governance and oversight risks and hindered efficient, secure teamwork across multidisciplinary research groups.

By rolling out Dropbox as a single, scalable collaboration platform, the university centralized research data, simplified governance and IT oversight, and reduced the need for user training. The result: easier external sharing, faster collaboration among staff and students worldwide, and improved visibility and control over research data.
