Hello , I trying for a few days to enable correct a Conditional Access Policy that blocks attachments to download.

I managed to block attachment in owa but still have the option to save it to one drive.

In windows i have the option to save it locally or in OneDrive. In mobile app i have the option to save it to device.

    You need to enable this on the Sharepoint side which will create the Conditional Access policy

    @Evangelos Rizos

    Try to use “Set-ActiveSyncMailboxPolicy” command to block attachment from downloading:

    Hello and thank you for your answers!!!

    I have already done this procedure.83279-image-2021-03-31-141558.png

    Ok maybe i don't ask the right questions... now I'm confused.
    the question is what is the right procedure to block attachments from any device (web, windows app, mobile app ) ?

    Thank you again.

    Hi, thats not the correct setting if using Conditional Access.

    If you want to block using OWA, follow:

    If you want block on mobile devices, look at Cloud App Security:
