About block download files from app with defender for cloud apps

Hi All,

 

I have a requirement to prevent Android devices from downloading files,

I checked the session control using condition access and the session policy using Defender for Clouds. I successfully blocked the M365 service on the broswer from download files, but the M365 app on mobile device was unable to block it. I thought the access policy could block it, but it had no effect at all.

May I ask if there is a method error? Or is there another way?

 

Thanks.

    Hi shotime,

     

    Session controls in Defender for Cloud Apps only apply to browser sessions.  But you might also consider MAM to protect the native clients.

      Hi , Keith_Fleming, 

      I tried setting the app protect policy,
      but I'm not sure if it's because I set it incorrectly and it doesn't block file downloads.
