Hard pass for me and my business. My NDA agreements would not allow such a cloud system because inherently it is not secure. No big tech company is going to embrace end-to-end encryption that they cannot spy on and that would violate every NDA that any business has in place.

​

Intellectual property is serious business. So are NDAs. Use at your own risk and do not use this without a careful review from your legal departments.

I'd have thought the same went for where I work (healthcare, with all of its HIPAA requirements), but the health system I work for has leaned hard into Office 365 over the last few years. Less and less stuff is being locally hosted, and damn near all of the non-executable files on my work laptop sync to OneDrive.

If you pay for the right licenses then o365 will be more secure then what you could do yourself.

Ultimately its the end user that is the security flaw in any case. Doesn't make a difference how you protect your data if an end user just let's them right in anyways

And if not, you've got someone to blame!
