How to Review Security Before Employees Use Personal Cloud Storage for Work

11/10/2026

Employees may upload business files to personal cloud accounts for convenience. The organization may have no visibility into sharing, retention, recovery, or deletion after an employee leaves.

What to check

Review data handling rules, approved storage options, endpoint sync behavior, external sharing, and whether personal accounts receive company data. Ask teams which workflows lead them to use unapproved storage.

Recommended next step

Provide an approved alternative with clear access and sharing controls, then address existing business files through a managed transfer and deletion process. Avoid collecting personal account data beyond what is necessary.
