Ok.. on re-reading the OP, that may seem a little OTT. But either way, it depends on how important stuff is to you.

Previously, I had the.. pleasure.. of working for academic staff and students for 20years. Losing weeks/months/years of irreplaceable data and/or entire PhD thesis (to a severely life-changing degree in some cases) was not as rare as it should have been.

You can give people the means, resources and information, but cannot prevent the happy-go-lucky from trusting everything of importance to their laptop and maybe google drive or a USB stick.
