To capture the behavior of users uploading files to third-party websites through the DLP tool in Microsoft Purview service, you can configure a data owner policy that enforces a DLP policy.

First, you need to create a DLP policy that captures the behavior of users uploading files to any website. You can create a DLP policy in the Microsoft 365 compliance center. Here are the steps to create a DLP policy:

1. Go to the Microsoft 365 compliance center and sign in with your Microsoft 365 credentials.
2. In the left navigation pane, click on Data loss prevention.
3. Click on Policy and then click on Create a policy.
4. Select the Custom option and click on Next.
5. Give your policy a name and description, and then click on Next.
6. Select the Locations where you want to apply the policy. In this case, you can select All locations to capture the behavior of users uploading files to any website.
7. Choose the Actions you want to take when the policy detects sensitive information. For example, you can choose to send an email notification to the data owner or block the upload of the file.
8. Choose the Sensitive information types you want to detect. For example, you can choose to detect credit card numbers or social security numbers.
9. Review your policy settings and click on Create.

Once you have created the DLP policy, you can configure a data owner policy in Microsoft Purview that enforces the DLP policy. Here are the steps to configure a data owner policy:

1. Go to the Microsoft Purview governance portal and sign in with your Microsoft 365 credentials.
2. In the left navigation pane, click on Policies and then click on Data owner policies.
3. Click on Create policy and then select the DLP option.
