Curious if HNers involved in management of cloud providers like 365 and Gmail actually allow users to connect random cloud apps like this to their company mailboxes? The pitch here seems oddly user-oriented rather than directed at the enterprise.

Are companies actually allowing employees to exfil entire datasets to any company who comes around with an app and privacy policy?

Most enterprises would have to allow a new app to connect. Even trying to use a different mail client doesn’t work in my employer’s Office365 account.
long term we would need enterprise buy in short term, users have been able to use the site
the enterprise case is definitely a more involved sales cycle but so far quite a bit of interest
