- Hi!
From what I can tell this needs a Dropbox business account as MCAS connects to the business account via an admin user
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-app-security/connect-dropbox-to-microsoft-cloud-app-security

Good news is that Dropbox basic accounts can be moved to a Business account
https://help.dropbox.com/accounts-billing/plans-upgrades/join-team-existing-user
So these can be consolidated. Bad news is that I don’t think there is a way to make this invisible to the user or that MCAS can be made to work with multiple Dropbox basic accounts.
Hope that answers your questions and is enough to get you in the right direction!
Best, Chris

Thanks ChrisHoardMVP,
I knew the dropbox connection required a business account, but I didn't find the dropbox article about moving account to the business ones.
I would be nice to enable the session based control warning on selected accounts like this with a notification requesting the users move their data, or at least letting them know it is being "monitored"
Thanks heaps for the information.
