So this here's a conundrum.
See, many government departments - I know, for instance, that the DoD's systems enforce this pretty fucking strictly - do not allow you to connect external media, like USB drives.
Likewise, file upload sites like dropbox are explicitly blocked.
The blindingly obvious reason here is that you do not want to let sensitive information off of controlled systems; this inability to exfiltrate information is a desired feature of those systems.
