Dropbox Protocol
Detection Information
The following page provides information on the Dropbox Protocol.
Protocol Description
Dropbox is a file hosting and storage service that is used to synchronize files across multiple computing devices. The Dropbox protocol - also called LAN Sync - allows computers on a local network to synchronize files across other computers.
Introduced
Version 2.88
Best Practices
Most Dropbox traffic is still transferred over standard SSL connections, but you should still see the Dropbox LAN Sync protocol in use when the Dropbox app is active on a target system.
