Secure Your Dropbox Files on the iPhone

Note that this passcode is separate from the passcode that you use whenever you unlock your iPhone. If you are not using a passcode on your iPhone, you can learn how to set one up here. Additionally, this passcode only applies to the Dropbox app on your iPhone. You will need to set another passcode on your iPad, for example, if you want to add security to Dropbox on that device as well.   Step 1: Open the Dropbox app on your iPhone.

    Step 2: Touch the Settings icon at the bottom of the screen.

    Step 3: Touch the Passcode Lock button.

    Step 4: Touch the Turn Passcode On button.

    Step 5: Create the passcode that you will use to access Dropbox from your phone.

    Step 6: Re-enter the passcode that you just created.

    You will now need to enter this passcode whenever you open the Dropbox app on your iPhone.
