hello all.

quick question.

in the File Blocking -> File types, probably we don't support "txt or text" extention as a supported file types..do we have any specific reason for this?

but when it comes to Data Filtering, there is "text/html" File Types that is available.

would you please teach me the implict meaning of this one?

thank you very much.

Hi ByongHwa

In data filtering you are tracing keywords in text based documents to prevent data leakage, so you need to be able to select all kinds of files that can contain text.

In file blocking you are simply preventing certain types of files to leave the company. You can ask your sales rep to create a feature request to have .txt or other filetypes added to the blockable extention list
