Microsoft Edge is blocking downloads from our own sharepoint site

Iron Contributor

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.

Did you find a solution to this issue? Is it only .MSG files?

Check that your Allow Download Restrictions policy is not configured. This is a way I was able to resolve the issue.
