Delving deeper into Sharepoint365 for specific collaborative uses I find myself going against years of network administrative experiences when creating sites, pages and calendars. Using the web sparingly for corporate data and applications is a point of tried and true wisdom. Anything online can and will be compromised, by strangers or by Microsoft in time.
I digress. Looking into and creating these sharepoint365 sites there is plenty of talk about data library creation, managing those folders, setting permissions, and even assigning meta data. Great. But where is that PRIVATE data being placed? And is there a way to remove Microsoft nose from my business by routing these SharePoint sites to local, traditional, storage locations? I prefer not to have our data, schedules, and day-to-day tasks in any remote data-center anywhere.
While I'd much rather run my own Exchange server I have to work with what was given, Office365. Even so, just because I'm in for a penny doesn't mean I need to be in for a pound, unless of course I'm being forced into it.
I have no intention of being part of the Borg, the collective, how can I use what tools are available in Office/sharepoint365 without having Microsoft involved beyond what is reasonable?
