Block Google Drive Desktop app

Hi all,

Could you guide me on how can I block the Google Drive Desktop app?

I've been reading articles and previous posts, but I couldn't understand them properly.

If anyone could provide me with any insights, thanks for your time.

See this knowledgebase. Also see how to block on browser here.

Hi,

Found this article. I'm experiencing the same issue.

Palo identifies google-drive-web, so when you access google drive via a browser. I've spent some time reviewing and going through logs and can't seem to isolate traffic towards the google drive desktop application, not the website via browser.

What I have been able to identify is google-docs, google-sheets, google-slides. So, I can go and block them, but I would like to block traffic from the google drive desktop application.

The above-mentioned knowledgebase article refers to URL google drive.

Hello,

Yes block the URL. Also if you are ssl decrypting the traffic you can block all the applications as well.
