What are the file types that can be scanned by office 365 dlp?

Thanks
  • Yes, as per the document

    'A DLP policy can find and protect sensitive information across Office 365, whether that information is located in Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, or OneDrive for Business'

    It would look for any instance of the sensitive information type across any of these services, for example whether they were sent across email (as per the article I sent where DLP works with Mail Rules) or stored in a file on SharePoint/OneDrive (in the article you pointed to here).

    Hope that clarifies!

    Best, Chris
