File Types
Good Day We are trying to understand if there is a way that we could block specific file types in being uploaded into OneDrive for business. Not sure we see an option on the admin center similar...
- Sure? There is settings for this , although haven’t tried them..
Also ms doc claims you can?

AFAIK, file types allowed to be uploaded in SPO and ODFB cannot be configured...only Microsoft can do it

Pretty sure Juan is right here, that setting is to prevent you from syncing the documents from your computer over, doesn't really restrict the file type itself from being uploaded to the web version of onedrive directly ;).
The file restriction for SharePoint / OneDrive is a web application setting which we don't have access to in the cloud, so you can't technically restrict files with that setting.
- Yes!! He is! This is of course a syncing prevention of that specific file type from the device! Nothing else!
- Correct, I was referring about the possibility to block additional file types so usersd cannot upload them through the UI and unfortunately this is not possible and this is why: file types allowed in SPO are configured at the Web Application level in SharePoint, something we cannot do in SPO ;-)
