How to block file save on mobile device from broswer and apps
Hi All, How to block file save on mobile device from broswer and apps? I have tried using session control to block download files from broswer, I have also set app protection to block download...
Hi can you please a little more specific about what you are trying to achieve? Is this about Android and iOS ,or also other OS types? Are those devices managed by Intune or are this BYOD devices? What apps need to block downloads?
You can use Session Controls to achieve blocking downloads but you need to configure parts of this in Defender for Cloud Apps:

Are you familiair with Defender for Cloud Apps?

Hi SebastiaanSmits,
This is Android devices,
I have tried using session control to block download files from broswer, but can't block from apps.
I want to block m365 whaterver download from broswer or apps.
- Hi,
Are these Androids BYOD or fully managed?
Can you show how it ends up stuck when managing the app protection with CA?
Thanks 🙂Hi NicklasOlsen,
My Andriods with Corporate-owned dedicated devices mode,
I 've tried to manage app protect with CA,
when I use Edge to login outlook, it popup google store to install company portal,
but it can't join company portal because it can't creat work profile.
So if my Andriod with Corporate-owned dedicated devices mode,
it can't use app protect ?
- Can you attach a screenshot of the Session Control setting in Conditional Access you are using?
Hi SebastiaanSmits,

- Sorry I am not sure where to find you question Homepage, you can also describe textual what the session control settings are in CA if you like
