Block cloud storage

What's the best way to block cloud storage using the web appliance.  Are there any plans in future releases to make Online Storage /  Cloud Storage a Site Categories like web-based E-mail?

Currently it looks like I have to block downloads and white list any valid sites or blacklist cloud storage sites and block the applications.

    We have run check on top 50 Online storage / cloud storage and blocked the ones which went through policy.

    The most popular (Dropbox, OneDrive) can be blocked via Web Applications (Group policy > Default policy >)

    Check the other as some of them are categorized by Sophos as 'Entertainment' or similar and will be allowed unless you manually block them.

     

    thanks
