Dropbox on Tuesday announced the roll out of single sign-on (SSO), a feature that lets users sign in just once to a central identity provider and securely gain access to all of their business apps. Since a company’s existing trusted identity provider is in charge of the authentication process, administrators don’t have to worry about managing multiple applications.

Dropbox touts the following advantages of the new feature:

• Streamlined management: SSO helps admins securely manage access to all company applications in one centralized place. In addition, SSO helps admins easily add and remove account access for team members.


• Increased security: Any password policies that admins have established for the corporate network (change passwords every month, set password requirements to a certain length, etc.) will also be in effect for Dropbox through SSO.


• Easier for your team: SSO limits the number of usernames and passwords employees have to remember in order to access their applications. Users now only have to enter their login credentials once, which provides a more unified experience.

Dropbox actually announced SSO last month along with the new name for its business offering and other features.
