I'm wondering if it's possible to take a few files and documents with me when I leave, but it seems to have been blocked by the IT department. Does anyone have smarts about this? Obviously not anything sensitive but just a few things that would be useful to me to remember.. IT controls have come a long way in the last decade from when I changed jobs previously. Any ideas @Mel81x @nudge? The simplest thing is to transfer them to one-drive via the web (yes, they can still track you if it's a company issued laptop). If you want to go the completely off-beat route then do this, if they are small, email them to yourself on your work laptop and then if you have a web interface for emails just open that at home and download them, there's no tracking there and it's really very hard to do anything even if there was. One piece of caution is that if there's an InTune server sitting anywhere close to the work you're doing (company IP, confidential data, etc) I'd just avoid copying and get someone else to mail them to me haha. Those things are very granular about file access and usage. I can't believe I am saying all this when I used to work with SecOps but realistically if its nothing serious you can just take it with you unless the company has some vested interest in it from a financial or IP standpoint.

This is right. I mean I have my fucking CV on my work laptop because it's the only computer I have at the moment. Surely I can take that with me when I leave! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
