To a lot of computer users, any window on the screen is as good as any other and they just don't have the concept of "I am uploading a file to an external computer that I do not control." Any company that is reigning in SaaSes is doing so because they have had a bad experience. If you have this privilege, that's cool, but be smart about it. Make a unique account for your business use rather than comingling your personal data, and choose SaaS companies who you would actually be okay having a relationship with, because the relationship WILL get escalated and wouldn't it be nice if it were a cool HN person making the pitch instead of Oracle mailing you an extortion letter? One of my clients, we had been trying to sell them on corporate groupware instead of personal dropboxes and gmails. The hammer dropped when they got sued and guess what got specified in the evidence search? Not only was executing that search deeply unpleasant for everyone involved, but it also cost a lot more consulting hours than searching a proper groupware would. |
