These applications pose a huge threat to your company because company data can be spread far and wide without central oversight of what information is being shared with whom.<\/p>\n<p>This is even more important if your company has access to and\/or stores financial, medical or other sensitive data. Using personal (not company-approved) file-sharing applications like these are a clear and direct violation of data breach and compliance laws. Bottom line: don&#8217;t use them for company data and use only company-approved, business-grade file-sharing applications.<\/p>\n<p>One last note here. Ask around. Make sure the rest of your company isn&rsquo;t using this type of storage as well.<\/p>\n<p>Want us to take a look? We can check all the devices in your environment for you.
