> You can't give them carte blanche to the storage because they'll waste it
So what? Just buy more. Storage is cheap.
It's hard to have a discussion here without understanding the scales involved. Is the problem that they're wasting 100 GB or 100 TB? And if the issue is truly that they're wasting 100 TB, then clamp down on it as part of cost reduction efforts. The truth in most organizations is you get rewarded for eliminating mountains of waste, but trying to prevent the waste in the first place brands you as someone difficult to work with who is standing in the way. Why not lean into that?
