How to block installation of Dropbox / Google Drive etc.
Is there a possibility to block the installation from apps like Dropbox? A regular user can now (although not admin) install the Dropbox application.

Hi Oliver, the solution is to give the standard user only rights to install apps from the Windows Store by the restriction policy in Intune.

Hi Harry Dubois and all
I just tried it and it works fine for standard users. However, if someone is installing Google Drive application with a local admin, they can install it unfortunately. I know, that the solution for this, would be to not give users the local admin password, but unfortunately they cheat the system, because they request the local admin password for a valid things and install an unallowed cloud storage apps with local admin. Does anyone have any idea how to disable cloud storage apps (Dropbox, Google drive and a lot of unknown others) with Intune for standard and admin users also?
