DropVox - Record Voice Memos to Dropbox for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch on the iTunes App Store Dropbox: dati più al sicuro grazie alle U2F e a Chrome - Androidiani.com Dropbox ha annunciato che d'ora in poi supporterà il login al suo sito sfruttando anche l'autenticazione aggiuntiva delle chiavette di sicurezza USB. Dropbox offre già in supporto un’autenticazione a due fattori, sia per il proprio sito che per l’app, in quanto consente di inviare codici one-time mediante SMS. La tipologia di chiavette USB supportate, note come “Universal 2nd Factor“, o più semplicemente U2F, aggiungono un nuovo livello di sicurezza per proteggere il proprio account Dropbox. Al momento l’implementazione risulta ancora abbastanza limitata, in quanto le USB U2F possono essere impiegate solo con Google Chrome: Una volta presa la chiavetta, andate nella sezione “Security” nelle impostazioni del vostro account Dropbox, e cliccate “Add next to to Security Keys”. Un fattore aggiuntivo di protezione consta nel prevenire l’inserimento delle proprie credenziali in siti malevoli – per proteggersi dal phishing – il tutto grazie alla chiavetta U2F.

We sorted through them and then boiled them down to our 60 favorites. (We added two tips of our own at the beginning, to establish the basics.)

Ripristinare i file cancellati con Dropbox E’ possibile ripristinare i file di Dropbox cancellati accidentalmente, in maniera da poterli recuperare interamente. Se si è infatti eliminato un file non intenzionalmente, o se viene cancellato da un programma in maniera automatica, potrebbe essere possibile porre rimedio al problema. Premettiamo che il metodo migliore è quello di effettuare regolari e frequenti backup dei propri dati, in maniera da rendere sicuro il ripristino, ma qualora non fosse disponibile tale copia, Dropbox offre una soluzione alternativa. La tecnica è derivata da Windows, che da tempo effettua una “shadow copy” dei files che consentono il ripristino in caso di cancellazione accidentale; parlando di Dropbox, si sarà forse notato che tutti i files che vengono aggiunti, modificati o rimossi dallo spazio web vengono modificati di conseguenza in tutte le altre posizioni in cui si trovano: se si cancella quindi un file in locale (cioè agendo sulla propria macchina) verrà cancellato anche dallo spazio Drobox.
