My client has recently introduced rules around USB memory sticks. In short you can't use them... at all... unless you get explicit permission for a very specific limited use from like someone so high up you've never ever see them.
This is a blow to me as 1) I use various bits of code and documents etc I have written/acquired over the years in my everyday work that are stored on the strick and 2) I keep limited company stuff on it and update timesheets, invoices, CVs etc when work is quiet
I was told that the ominous 'they' would be able to detect when people were using them without authorisation. I'm not a hardware bod, but I'm pretty sceptical about this. Can anyone confirm? Secondly, what's the best alternative to using memory sticks? A good online file depository or something?
Cheers. R
