How can I test block download policies in SPO?
I have a Microsoft 365 E5 developer tenant. However, I am unable to activate the SharePoint Advanced Management trial from the SharePoint Admin Center. I need to verify my code in this configuration....
Hi,
The Block Download Policy requires SharePoint Advanced Management licensing to be enforced. If you cannot activate SharePoint Advanced Management in your developer tenant, you may not be able to reproduce the exact behavior.
I recommend validating the behavior of your application when the Block Download Policy is enabled.
I could not find any Microsoft documentation describing the specific behavior of File.OpenBinaryStream() when a Block Download Policy is applied.
Therefore, the most reliable approach would be to test against a tenant where SharePoint Advanced Management is available and the Block Download Policy can be enabled.
Hope this helps
