@molgrips If a system "works" without the MD needing to sell their company car, why would the MD change it?
It's his job to listen to his expert staff. Of course, many don't. The lure of shiny cars etc is too great I reckon.
The problem here is that a solution may work until it doesn't - eg dropbox works perfectly. Until one of your employees loses his smart phone which he doesn't lock and someone finds a load of confidential documents on it that they put out in the public domain causing an economic/global meltdown and eventually WW3 😉
Unlikely maybe but the business just needs their eyes open. Tell them they can use dropbox but that these are the risks and are they willing to take them. If not, then they should be the ones doing something about it, be that banning people from using it or giving a budget to provide a tool that matches the security/etc requirements.
Yep. Especially if one of your clients is governemnt or themselves work with government, and there are rules about storing your data on overseas servers, which I assume includes Dropbox.
Ah, found it!

.. looks to be cheap enough for more or less anyone, if slightly limited in storage. Buy another I guess.
So another form of storage then?
Not sure what they have created there?
