FTD Blocking Uploads

dcanady55 — Fri, 13 Jan 2023 19:42:09 GMT

Hello,

I've read some older posts but didn't quite find what I was looking for. I am wondering with FTD 2110s version 7 software can I create a policy that would prevent users from uploading to places like Google Docs, or Dropbox but at the same time allow them to download files if necessary? If FTD's are not capable of this, do you have any technology suggestions that could do that?

Thanks,

@dcanady55 you can create an Access Control rule based on applications. You can certainly do this for dropbox, create a rule to block uploads and another rule to permit dropbox download. Example:

Another Cisco solution that will achieve this is the WSA or even Umbrella.

as Rob has shown, this is available for Dropbox, but support for Google Docs currently is not present in FTD (checked version 7.2.0).

I did notice that Marius after Rob posted what he did. We do use umbrella and will look at those policies.

Thanks for the help
