If the data is on a restricted network, and data transfer policies are strict to the extent that USB devices are forbidden, then why would you want to send it to the net? If it is a matter of network access, then the best solution would be to work with the network engineer to provide a solution to transfer the data between the networks rather than bypass the rules by sending private data to a public network. If my managers knew I was bypassing network security by sending data to the internet for retrieval, I would be looking for a new job.
