    Hey you guys might be a little confused. Im not referring to online activity. Im saying that there are some files that I would like to copy to a flashdrive, projects that I have worked on. This is kind of a gray area. I didnt know if that activity could be later tracked if I were to leave the company. Client info for example

    i have never seen anything in place to prevent you from taking company info and putting on a flash drive. or software that tracks it. the only close thing would be the fact you dont have admin rights to install the flash drive. usually you can just befriend an IT person and theyll install it for you anyway.

    Anything can be tracked, even key strokes with the right software. I seriously doubt any employer of a reasonable size would bother though unless they had a lot to protect. I work for a huge IT company and we dont do that. We take off excel, word and powerpoint files all the time onto flash drives for completely legitimate reasons. Usually as backup.
