If only 1 in 10 full grasp the picture, many employees may make poor choices about what to store where. I have an older post about how people come to think about the cloud here: http://www.terrigriffith.com/blog/2008/04/05/the-cloud-how-do-users-understand-their-computing-environment-and-does-it-matter/

Mixing the storage of business and personal info in the cloud can get costly for businesses especially when confidential information goes astray. Businesses need to get ahead of this issue if they want to prevent a data breach or compliance violation. Organizations should provide employees with a file storage and sharing solution that lets them share business files securely between devices and people. Accellion is one popular solution used by corporations and government agencies.
