Edge Mobile and MAM policies
Yeah, still not working for us. I think the issue is these on-prem sharepoints we have are set to download documents and not view them in the browser. So the old Managed Browser would simply download them, then prompt me to open it in my MAM protected Word, or whatever type of document it was.
The Edge browser doesn't seem to be able to handle documents set to download if they have MAM policies maybe? So instead of popping up a list of apps to open the document it, it just says I'm blocked by policy?
Thought I'd bump this one up as it's still an issue and stopping us from moving all our users to Edge Mobile (which is really a fantastic product.. )
The message that gets generated is a little different now. If I click on a link to our Intranet to a document on a SharePoint, i get a popup that now says, "Download is disabled by your organization."
It's trying to download the document because the owners of that particular SharePoint have it set to download documents instead of render them in the online viewer.
The issue is that with the old Managed Browser, it would actually go ahead and download them and then ask me to open them in an app (which only Word, if it was a docx file, would work as it's MAM activated)
Edge will not do this. Is there a way to just allow the corporate instance of Edge to download these inside it's bubble like the Managed Browser does? That would take care of the problem.
