Imagine needing to share a large PDF non-confidential document with a customer. It is too large to send via email, and recently you started using a cloud file sharing service to store files and make them accessible on your smartphone, tablet or other computers. You upload the file to the filesharing service and then share the link with the customer to make things easier. After a few clicks, a link is sent to the customer and they download the PDF document. The next day, you get a phone call from one of the information security officers from the organization asking about a file they noticed you transferred out of the company to the filesharing service.
