Yes, we use Microsoft Intune. They switched over from MaaS360
which was a  royal pain in the ass. They are also heavily
encouraging us to store ALL  our documents on OneDrive and
Sharepoint rather than locally on the PC. So  far I’ve resisted
doing that, but I do keep critical copies on Sharepoint  for my
colleagues to use in case I get hit by a bus.

 
Why not just use sharepoint? It's so much easier for everyone.
The bus  factor is an important consideration for an
organisation.  
I have ALL my work files on Sharepoint which makes life easier
for me and  my colleagues. I encourage my team to do the same.
 

 
I often work offline from home or the road and am not always on
the company  LAN. I also don’t want my files to get lost or locked
up by some technical  glitch or hack job. Does that make sense?

I too am often away from the office. SharePoint/OneDrive works fine.
You're more likely to irrecoverably lose local files - to hardware
loss or failure - than using cloud resources.

Well, I disagree with you.  Most of my work documents are Excel files
and they just don't translate well to Sharepoint when you want to work
on them.  Keeping backup copies on Sharepoint is one thing, but leaving
my working versions there is something I'm unwilling to do.

This issue is much like the one being argued to death right now.  You
prefer the cloud method of working documents and I prefer the local
method of working copies.  Both have their pros and cons, but at least
we have a choice on how we want to implement it.  The same goes for
transferring files between iOS devices and PCs.  Some people prefer
initiating the transfer from the iPhone side and some people prefer
initiating the transfer from the PC side.  Both methods work but the
pros of one method outweigh the pros of the other method for each
person.
