You can't work with it, because of liability. If you bless Dropbox and champion it to the rest of management, it becomes your problem when the inevitable data breach happens.

But you don't want to stamp it out all at once, because: 1. CIOs know that cutting off things people want really badly just leads to better circumvention tech (more people running proxies or using 3G laptops, etc) and suddenly you can't even watch what they're doing, let alone stop it.

2. Those things are useful. Just because the Enterprise can't make peace with limitations or find a suitable analogue doesn't mean those tools don't legitimately make people more productive.
