Common questions
What to know before you start.
When should I choose Crypto instead of Dropbox password links?
Teams sharing design snapshots who want the protected preview generated from Figma rather than a separately exported file.
When is Dropbox password links a better fit?
Teams already using Dropbox shared-link controls for documents and other file types on an eligible plan.
What should I check before switching?
Dropbox password restrictions are plan-dependent and apply to shared links; direct permissions are separate. Crypto does not replace a file-storage service, and a protected preview should still be checked against your organization’s access policy.
Do Dropbox password links revoke direct access to a file?
Dropbox documents shared-link restrictions separately from direct permissions. Review the current access list in the storage workflow; creating a Crypto preview does not change existing permissions on other files.
