Prevent File download for all users for all files on OneDrive and Sharepoint

Copper Contributor

Hi!

Is there any way to absolutely prevent download of files from SharePoint and OneDrive for all files and all user in my organization?

Actually, I want to prevent any local work or local data store on my-users's computers. It means that i want also disable the "open on Desktop app" button, and the printing options. All the work is done via the browser.

I know that it is possible per file or per library on SharePoint, but i want to set it as mandatory unchangeable policy for all my users.

Thank you!

Hi, the way to achieve this is with the use of session based Conditional Access policies in conjunction with Microsoft Cloud App Security.  You can read about this at - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/conditional-access/concept-conditional-acces...

 

This may mean that you need additional licensing however.  Conditional Access is an Azure AD Premium P1 feature, and MCAS can be purchased as an add on to EM+S E3, or is included in EM+S E5 and M365 E5
