Detecting USB Usage

[daviejones]

The problems here are two, for me:
1. As part of my work, I bring knowledge on a USB stick. I also access it on the internet. I accept jobs on the basis of that being possible, and if it is not, any estimate or impression that I have given of being able to do the job on time, or at all, is rendered invalid.
2. I don't actually work for the client, I contract services to them. I no more undertake to spend all my office hours doing nothing but their job spec, than I undertake not to make or receive phone calls during office hours.

That sounds fair...the way I managed the IT would not work for everybody and exceptions would be made on a case by case basis.

My client has recently introduced rules around USB memory sticks. In short you can't use them...

What's the best alternative to using memory sticks? A good online file depository or something?

Do they carry out random body searches on people suspected of unauthorised abacus use, too?

I've had Gmail work where Yahoo and my own webmail didn't.
