Our AUP does not permit the storage of University (read Commonwealth of VA) data within a non-sanctioned third party cloud service (read personal storage paid or free). The concern is data ownership. Unless there has been a major shift in the T&Cs, these third parties own the data once transferred. Thus, we have no legal right to enforce any of our policies or best practices to maintain, protect or recover the data.

The main reason for our current policy is that those work products are considered belonging to the institution and as such when you leave the institution we want to make sure that the work product stays with us ( of course there is no guarantee that a copy won't make it out in some form or fashion but that's another topic). There are also security concerns ( personal email services maybe hosted under someone's desk at home!). There are some rumblings that these restrictions are too limiting for this new crop of developers. So I ask. At your institutions what is the general policy on conducting Institution business using personal services ( email, dropbox, git etc.). Thanks for your feedback Thanks, Petrus Williams J.
