Unauthorized File Sharing a Major Threat to Businesses

Nearly half (46 percent) of respondents have stored confidential company information on their personal file sharing and sync apps, according to a survey by document management specialist M-Files.

Milliken said the risks to unauthorized and unregulated employee use of file share and sync solutions are significant, which is underscored by the finding that a quarter of employees surveyed said their company has experienced information security breaches, data loss, non-compliance issues, loss of control over documents or other issues from employee use of personal file sharing and sync tools.
