Question, we are blocking the category online-personal-storage but my ACC report shows that some may have been using it. I see this a lot in the Sharepoint (live.com) and Gmail/Yahoo cloud sites but this 4shared is new. Can you please explain to me if this is blocked why does the report under the Bytes column shows data. Please see the image I've attached to this post.
Thanks,
Frederick

URL Filtering only works on HTTP traffic.
Application blocking works on all aspects of an application. Blocking 4shared via the application will block any non-HTTP client that a user may have installed on their PC.
So it is certainly possible that your URL filtering is working, but that the user has a non-HTTP 4shared application that is able to transfer data because you are allowing the application.
You need to drill down into the report to determine the exact nature of the sessions that are shown in your screen capture.
