Sounds like an organizational issue in your work place. Usually these are the best dealt by changing the employer. They rarely get fixed from within the organization itself.

Making it impossible to work with clients also tends to lead to the loss of those clients and as a result changing one's employer due to the employer no longer existing :)
This includes the VPs in question so usually these things get fixed before it gets that far though. But not before everyone else in the org has had a chance to practice their facepalm skills though.
In other words I feel your pain :)

Throwing a fit while the VP is around often helps :). It always amazes me how quickly things get done when the guy who controls the budget wants something.
> We were recently notified that external USB storage will soon be banned
With how often USB drives with PII get lost, this is probably a good idea. I'd prefer Dropbox over OneDrive, though.
My question to IT of "Hey we have clients that explicitly only allow the use of their own (incredibly terrible) file transfer platform, and block OneDrive. We've been burning stuff to CD with a usb drive and hand delivering it, if you ban those wat do?"
Got the form "this is how you use OneDrive" response back. Love it.
