I don't have an article handy but can confirm that we currently only support Block Download for Office files.

That being said, we are working on Block Download for other file types (as announced in the Sharing talk at Ignite last year) and you should keep an eye on Message Center for more news on that soon 🙂

Thanks!

    StephenRice Hi Stephen,
    My organization actively uses the OneDrive system. First of all, thank you very much for your support. We need to securely share files such as pdf and video on OneDrive with people outside the organization. Especially download blocking is very important to us. You mentioned that you are working on this issue. When will this feature come? Thanks.
