Can i block uploads to cloud apps?
Hi everyone, Does anyone know if possible to block uploads to certain cloud apps using Defender for Cloud Apps? For example block uploads to Onedrive (personal) or Google Drive (Personal) or ...
I am not sure about your exact scenario but there are many ways to bypass this method, for example even if you block access to these websites, they might be able to open Google Drive Document and copy and paste contents and don't upload anything. You might block the upload feature but they might go and find other websites which are not in your blacklist and upload it there. Therefore, it is better to change your strategy and you may consider Windows Information Protection , take a look at:

And have a look at:

This is advance way to protect data and contents not only from uploading but in any form of leakage like copy and paste and you have power to prevent your data from being leaked.
