Web Filter Block File Transfer/Remote Access, AppCtrl Allow only Dropbox, Skype, TeamViwer

Also want to Add that I want to create let’s say TAGed URL’s, so I go to Add Site’s and you cannot use Regular Expressions there so it’s a bit confused again. If I go into “Allow These Website” under Policy I can create Object and populate it with Regular Expressions because If I take a look at Google Drive  (https://support.google.com/a/answer/2589954?hl=en) I must use Regular Expression because URL’s and that is not possible at Filtering Options->Websites-> because there Regular Expression is not a valid entry.

I can create Exception, but that is really hard to manage so what’s the point of Allowed Websites where I can use Regular Expression but I cannot Share same object in multiple profiles or Website’s recategorization where I cannot use RegEx...

To understand that Application Control can't allow a packet blocked by URL Filtering, see #2 in Rulz.

In AppCtrl, as in all places in WebAdmin where there is a numbered list, rules are considered in order and once the packet qualifies for a rule, no further rules are considered for it.  This means that the rule allowing Dropbox must come before one that blocks all file transfer protocols.  This is also the reason that there are no Exceptions per se in AppCtrl - Exceptions are used in areas where there is no numbered list.
