Blocking file copy from share folder to system drive and USB

Hello Furqan Ahmed,

Data Control (AKA DLP - Data Loss Prevention) is designed to prevent loss (or leakage) of data, in other words to prevent data leaving your site. You can't block incoming data or intra-site (a share is considered as being inside/on-site) copies.

You can block transfers to removable storage (please note that the physical port is insignificant) but (generally) not restrict it to specific source locations.

Hello Furqan Ahmed,

please see the known limitations.

cloud drive
Data Control works (with the listed limitations) only for the Destinations listed not with other applications. You could block these (type Online storage) with Application Control.

Christain,

If we block these types using online storage, user is failed to upload its own file to cloud. Is there anyway ? and how to block using email client like outlook 2010 and 2013

Hello Furqan Ahmed,

failed to upload its own file
Data Control can't distinguish [a user's] own files from the company's. As said, you can't create rules that depend on the source location of the data.

block using email client
also you can't work around the mentioned limitations. I assume it does work with certain workflows (e.g. using the Attach button) but not with others (e.g. drag and drop).
