Microsoft Edge is blocking downloads from our own sharepoint site

We have an issue in which Microsoft Edge is blocking msg files to download.

The msg files are place on a share onedrive location.

 

The message we get is couldn't download - blocked

 

When we rightclick on the blocked download we get the option to copy the link and we paste that copied link the download succeeds.
This is happening since a couple of weeks. 

 

If we turn off smartscreen in  Edge the download works as expected. Whitelisting the location with smartscreenallowlistdomains doesn't help.

    Hello, did you find a solution? We're facing the same issue. I've tried different gpo settings but it's not always effective. Thanks

      Hey Luccima

       

      The Edge configuration should allow you to configure file type downloads by domain.
