Disable Office 365 Products ability to download (MOBILE)

Hello,

 

I am trying to disable the ability for people to download files from the Teams / Outlook applications on their mobile devices. 

I selected the Disable Downloads feature from a Conditional Access area shown here, however, while testing on my mobile device, I was able to export the files / download them without any issues.

  • Are these mobile devices managed in Intune, or are these devices unknown in the environment? If so, you can also use mandatory compliancy in combination with app enforced restrictions. (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/control-access-from-unmanaged-devices)

      JosvanderVaart - These are devices unknown to the company, all personal cell phones. 

      I have assigned myself the E5 license as it has intune on it, and it didn't restrict me. For our workflow to keep it most efficient, our employees need to have access to teams on their phones for quick responses.

      elieelkarkafi - I did include Android and iOS in this CA policy. When trying to do the MDCA I get this error unless I am in the wrong section.

       

      • you dont need to create a policy from here the CA that you create will communicate with MDCA to protect your targetted app
