Purchasing Dropbox from the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace

You can find Dropbox services plans on the Ingram Micro Cloud Marketplace (CMP) by selecting the option CLOUD SERVICES > COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION.

Resellers must have a Dropbox-issued Reseller ID for purchasing Dropbox subscriptions.

Note the following scenarios:

• If you do not have a Reseller ID you can acquire one while purchasing a Dropbox subscription from Ingram Micro’s Cloud Marketplace.
• If you have purchased Dropbox previously from Ingram Micro’s Cloud Marketplace (CMP), your Reseller ID will be automatically displayed at checkout.
• If you have a Reseller ID but are purchasing Dropbox from the Ingram Micro CMP for the first time you can go through the purchasing process on Ingram Micro’s CMP and enter your Reseller ID during checkout.

About Dropbox Service Plan Options

If you need more than the minimum required number of licenses, then on the ‘Order Details’ page you can use the + and - buttons to indicate how many additional licenses are required (1 license for every User on your Dropbox Team). The total price reflects the cost for the minimum required number of licenses plus any additional licenses that you want to purchase i.e.

Once the Dropbox subscription has been successfully provisioned, the Customer will receive 3 emails:

1) The invoice for the Dropbox subscription (from Ingram Micro/Reseller)

2) Instructions for activating the Dropbox account (Ingram Micro/Reseller)

3) Invitation to become a part of the company’s Dropbox Team (from Dropbox)

IMPORTANT! Resellers can ensure that Ingram Micro’s Dropbox account’s deployment instructions are received by the Reseller and not the Customer by providing an email address that adheres to the following:

1. Belongs to YOUR (Reseller’s) domain and
2. Unique to Dropbox i.e. not already attached to a Dropbox Business account.

Customer Control Panel Overview

Users and Roles

Please remember the following about Users and their roles:

1) The same email ID cannot be used across multiple Dropbox subscriptions.

2) The role of Team Administrator (Team Admin) is automatically assigned to the individual whose information was provided at the time of purchasing the Dropbox subscription. If the Customer has multiple Dropbox subscriptions, then the Customer must assign a new User to the role of Team Admin for the other Dropbox subscriptions. In relation to assigning the role of ‘Team Admin’ to another User keep the following in mind:

Once the first Team Admin role is assigned (this is specifically the ‘Team Admin’s’ email ID that is displayed on the ‘Dropbox’ home page within CCP), Team Admins must create their Dropbox accounts first. Only then will other Team Members receive their ‘Welcome Email’ to join their team.

All Team Members must create their respective Dropbox accounts in order to begin using Dropbox. For instructions on using Dropbox, refer to the Dropbox User Guide.

If changes are made to Users’ roles or information you can synchronize members’ information between Dropbox and CCP by using the SYNCHRONIZE MEMBERS button (refer to ‘How to: Synchronize Members’ Information between CCP and Dropbox Account‘  for detailed instructions).

If you disable a User, the license remains assigned to the User. To free a license you need to unassign the Dropbox service or delete the User. These actions can be performed from a Team Admin’s Dropbox account as well (refer to ‘How to: Suspend or Delete a User (Dropbox Account)’).
