I don't see any changes; it appears the feature is only available for public sites and not intranet sites.
Have you already submit your feature request through our in-browser feedback tool? It's under "..." menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback.

I have this Policy enabled since its availabel. I have never ever seen it working. All MS Office documents continue to be downloaded (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). No matter from where.
We dont have a urgent need for this feature. So we never missed it. But anyway. I am curious if there is anybody out there who have seen it at work.
