Why would anyone not think that putting a document in a public channel would result in people who can join that channel having access to it? Isn't that the whole point?
- techdragon 3y agoBecause the correct minimum set of people is those who are in the channel when it was shared to the channel… and most people aren’t thinking of possible future information leaks when sharing documents directly into a channel with specific people the document is intended for… The mismatch makes sense to programmers and IT types who have internalised the “computers are stupider than we make them look” way of thinking… but most normal non computer professionals are probably just thinking “I am sharing this with these people right now.
- vxNsr 3y agoThat’s a setting your IT teams chose to hide from you, our teams channels allow you to set what files are shared with someone who joins.
- jon-wood 3y agoI’m still not at all sold. If someone put a file in the Ops Team folder of a shared drive then they’re sharing it with all current and future members of that team. The same is true if you post to #ops-team. To be brutally honest people need to just stop and apply some basic critical thinking to their actions instead of expecting magic.
