Leading cloud storage provider Dropbox has indulged in a little re-branding exercise. It has re-named its product – Dropbox for Teams – as Dropbox for Business. Which means Dropbox  is now looking at a larger enterprise market & addressing companies with thousands of employees.

Not only that, it has added features that will help it target larger companies, better.

A blog post by Dropbox’s Anand Subramani said a few days ago, it had launched an admin console that gave webmasters greater control over how their organization uses Dropbox. Working on the console further, they have launched a new feature for business users now called Single Sign-on or SSO.

SSO works behind the scenes to let users sign in just once to a central identity provider, like Active Directory, & securely access all their business apps, like Dropbox. With SSO, companies can put their existing trusted identity provider in charge of the authentication process.

For users, SSO means ease — one fewer password to remember & one fewer step to get to your work. Once logged in to your system, there’s no need to sign in to Dropbox separately. For IT admins, SSO means additional security and administrative management.
