In an effort to help enterprises get a handle on the BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) trend, Novell has released enterprise file sharing software that it claims is as easy to use as commercial cloud storage services such as Dropbox, Microsoft Skydrive, and Google Drive. Employees "have been using consumer-based tools designed to share enterprise files," said Eric Varness, Novell vice president of product management and marketing. As a result, organizations "lose control of their content," when they are copied to off-site commercial cloud storage services, he said.
