Two-level authorization means in the bottom line only one thing for Dropbox users - if an attacker has a username and password for your account, he will still not be able to access your account and the valuable files that you store in it.
This is how it works:
Click Get started.
2. You can receive a verification code by SMS (our countries are also supported) …
… or use a token generator application. Google Authenticator (Android / iPhone / BlackBerry), Amazon AWS MFA (Android), Authenticator (Windows Phone 7).
I preferred to use the SMS option, as I don't feel like messing with apps and QR codes.
3. Now, with each authorization, you will need to additionally enter the received SMS.
Think about security ahead of time and set up this type of check. This is especially true for those who travel a lot or whose data is of real practical interest to third-party attackers.
