This is a great point, but it probably doesn’t do the job as well as more modern alternatives.
- Easy to lose, possible data leak concerns.
- Easy to retain data that should have been deleted.
- Easy to lose data if a disk gets lost or damaged.
- Likely wastes time when trying to track down the disk you need to getting someone to transfer it.
- Lack of access logs and auditing capabilities.
- Easy way for viruses to spread.
Modern IT managed file servers solve a lot of real problems when well-managed.
