I'm considering moving some company data from our on-premise file shares to dropbox/box/google drive storage services, the only consideration now is security. Is it possible to give our employees the ability to always see that data exists on the service but block access to it if is done after work hours?

To be more specific, assuming I have file "x.png" in my company's shared Dropbox folder, I want users to always be able to see that "x.png" exists but if the attempted access is after work hours I want to give the user some kind of notification "File is not accessible" and maybe also log the attempt.

Thanks

  • There is no native solution to my knowledge, but the drop box or google-drive api has mechanisms by which you can programmatically set locks and reads – Mike Tung Jan 23 '18 at 17:16
  • Programmatically speaking, you can write a program which uses google API which changes the accessibility settings of your shared files according to your needs (like by hours). Another solution which I don't know if is feasible to you is to get a WD-Mycloud or QNAP local cloud and connect it to the network with a physical timer which will disconnect it from the network. – Hadar Ben David Jan 25 '18 at 14:48
