Edge Mobile and MAM policies
Hi Christopher,
How did you try to allow access to your files? via Azure AD App Proxy?
At least for now and based on Microsoft Device restriction and Edge Browser, you cannot apply the required policies for Edge on Mobile.
For now, you cannot compare the options and features between the Managed Browser and Edge.
Eli.
Yes, all my files are on my corporate Intranet that we access via the app proxy. The article you listed talks about Windows 10 Edge policies. We are using the mobile Edge browser on iOS and Android.
Hi Christopher,
in my test setup I have an app proxy and an iOS device and added a pdf and docx link to my internal website and opened it with Mobile Edge on an iPhone. As soon as I click on the links (both pdf and docx link) the Mobile Edge is opening it and renders it within the Mobile Edge itself. I got no popup that asks to switch to Word, but I'm able to view the documents within Mobile Edge.
best,
OliverThanks for the response, Oliver. That is interesting. Our particular files are on SharePoint. I'm using the same conditional access, the same MAM policies and tapping on a PDF in the Managed Browser appears to download the file in the browser and then gives me a few Intune managed apps to open it in. A word file just opens it right in Word.
In Edge mobile, in Android, it acts like it's opening a new window and I get the blocked message, while in iOS it does nothing.
If I remove my MAM policies, a word document will download then ask if I want to open it in Word or the built in Samsung document reader. At no point will any document render in Edge. It will always want to download to the device.
UPDATE: iOS documents seem to render in Edge, on Android they always download and ask what viewer they want to open in.
Interesting my MAM enabled Mobile Edge just opens both files pdf and docx in the browser even when hosted on sharepoint online. But as soon as I try to click on "open with" for pdf it tries to download and fails. For the docx file I click in the online viewer on the upper right, on the pencil icon then I'm asked how to open, in form of a dialog, I choose open with word mobile -> click open -> hand over to word mobile and my docx opens...
