Posting evidence of this would be useful, because Drive is pretty comprehensive in terms of compliance. Also not sure what you mean by "workflow needs". Why would you use a file storage service to manage workflows in the first place?

Because most workflows involve some kind of document. Automatically routing that document to different people and standardizing the way they interact with it can be very beneficial.

Wouldn't that what the Drive API can be used for? I may be answering my own question here, but I imagine that would be the most useful part of this Box/Drive partnership. :D

Person A can only read document X because they are performing duty b on project y.

Not everything works with binary can/can't read scenarios.

How is this _not_ a binary can/can't read scenario? The person can either read it because they're performing the duty, or can't ready it because they're not.

It's not binary because they should only be able to read it while performing duty b. There needs to be something that enables/disables access when they start/stop working on it, or checks access before the read it.

I'm working at a 10000+ employee, 1B+ revenue corp and G-Drive is the standard filesystem on the corp computers.

I was. if you have a plenty of files, how could you search something in a specific folder? e.g. I want to search 'hadoop' in my personal work notes, not in public ebooks and slides.

That's frightening.

I would suggest your security team do an audit with CloudLock (note, we acquired them at Cisco) and my guess is that it'll be illuminating / shocking.

How do you manage the syncing of presumably a huge amount of data amongst many groups?

The company I work at has gotten around these restrictions with AODocs. It adds a lot of enterprise features Drive is missing (workflow setup, version control, etc.). It works well for us, but it's still by no means a perfect solution.
