Anyway, I am a Yes, but. I think people should use whatever client they want to access data they have received and to derive insights from it. That includes scripts, data analysis, whatever.

I also agree that republishing someone else's content without permission, especially if it isn't public, is a bad idea, and you should really know your cloud service's TOS if you're going to think about that.
