If you allow access to Google Drive, you can block users from downloading and uploading documents. When this is set up, users who try to download a file will see a Smoothwall Block page instead of the document.
Important
You can only block these features if you apply filtering from On-Premise Appliance, and only for the browser version of Google Drive, not the app.
