Hi, a bit rusty in this area! Out of curiosity, what happens when you set value 3 and not only OneDrive personal? Does it wipe your org. ODFB connection too?

Ping NunoAriasSilva Would you mind taking a look at this?

 

I know you can disable most things as there are even more reg. keys to use when it comes to this topic, but what's the best way (is there a way) to achieve the requested behavior still not disabling any services? Meaning making OneDrive/SharePoint available from "Add a service" in Office but for own org. only not using any allow/deny list or shutting down services/sharing.

 

blockwood-cncy perhaps you should look at it from another perspective. I understand you trying to prevent "third-party storage" in general, but end-users will always find a way. And there should be policies for that in your org. too. Have you considered using DLP/Sensitivity labels? In these scenarios you don't even have to bother about possible loopholes as the documents are being classified and protected.
