This. If everyone just wasted their time then their costs would outweigh the return.

IMO you cannot rely on users without having safeguards in place. Mistakes will happen plus there is always the threat of malicious behavior.

They also sell to people who have a need for status symbols. ;-)

The logical first step for sensitive files is to prevent external IDs from having access. Does Apple sharing have the ability to prevent access from IDs external to the org?

To me the biggest value Apple brings to the table is the hardware lifecycle. Their stuff typically is supported for a decent number of years and OS performance remains acceptable.

Proof yet again that Apple does not design products and services for businesses. They focus is on a particular user experience which has allowed them to get enterprise customers through creatives and execs.

Merit should always consider strictly value.

The $5K a year just gives you a $300 per person per visit discount. So pays itself back in 15 visits or so.

Plenty of us nerds can afford this and want to see news about this.

Everything is funded by customers or taxpayers...sometimes both.

Garbage regulations like IP create these behemoths. If you want freedom, stop regulating monopolies into existence.

Statism creates billionaires.
