Good points. There is a lot of willful ignorance. (Plausible deniability is one of my favorite excuses I hear!) I think its a bigger problem that really depends on the type of company or organization. Small and large commercial firms face less risk than Defense, Pharma, Financial and other highly regulated industries.

I don't think anyone is praising employees who go rogue, but I for one completely understand why they do, and sympathize. In many cases companies have made it way too hard to get things done. When systems get in the way of getting $#!t done, people find a way. Especially if their livelihood (sales, consultants...) depends on it.

I don't think I'd want to work in a place like that.

Policies and punishment have proven to be useless tools to stop the spread of rogue clouds. Employees will do what they need to do to get their job done.

CIO's are adopting cloud apps. The reality is that users will still inadvertently save files in the wrong place. I know I do all the time. If we can help get the files into the right place, even if the user saves them in the wrong place, then that is progress and lessens the negative impact of rogue clouds.

Make it easy for people to do the right thing and don't make them change the way they work.

I didn't realize the impact.

....and then turn left.

Sweet. You have to get on the list for the mobile app! It's rocking.

3 Months would be great. Raising angel money in Canada is a little slow. (I'm being kind)

I had this issue with my iPad, but not my iPhone (same wifi network) and then an hour later.... magic. It worked.

This is obviously ironic.

iphone: mail, calendar, phone (obvious) DO (tasks) Openera (files/attachments), Evernote (notes) Tweetbot (twitter) Google Maps...oh wait... not anymore.
