Cloud-based file-sharing and synchronization solutions are among the most popular applications used in the workplace.

Many of these solutions, classified as “consumer-focused” because they are typically deployed by individual users and not as part of a coordinated IT plan, offer tremendous usability.

However, these consumer-focused solutions can put organizations at greater risk and drive-up the overall cost of managing corporate data assets and networks.
