Nir Hendler we also have a strong business requirement to see the classification of files in the explorer. This would help us to manually classifiy already existing data and also to see if and how other File-Formats like PDFs are classified. The Workaround using the Adobe Plug-Ins for Reader and DC is not really an option just to show the classification.
Is there any update on this "sensitivity column in Explorer" Topic? Timeline?
Can you explain a little bit, what makes it so hard to add this?

Thank you for this feedback Markus. The ability to label files outside Office apps is done with AIP Client using the "Classify and Protect" component. Using Adobe Reader is designed to consume the file and see the label in addition to that.
I don't have more to share on your 2nd ask at the moment regarding native Windows File Explorer integration. We are looking into it as part of prioritization for other highly anticipated features.
