Dropbox uploading

[markk96]

For dropbox on the web.  I need to block uploading, this works with chrome, ie.  but with firefox if i create a File-Blocking policy with the following. Firefox will not stop the dropbox upload.  IE and Chrome will.

Any application upload block

application web-browsing upload continue

If I remove web-browsing application from the policy object then dropbox will not upload in firefox.  I need to allow web-browsing uploads.

I am running 6.0.3 on my palo's.

Hello markk96,

It is not feasible to block app-based Dropbox while allowing the web-based Dropbox (or vice versa). The reason is that there is no traffic difference between dropbox web version and app version, so even a separate AppID for web-based and app-based Dropbox will not work.

Thanks

No that is not what i am saying, this is only dropbox web uploading.  I am using the File-Blocking Object to do this.

If you look under file blocking there is dropbox and there is web-browsing.  With web-browsing uploads allowed dropbox and firefox will upload, even though dropbox is set to block upload.  This is not an issue with IE or Chrome.

This is my policy in the template.   If I remove the "web-browing" out of the allow portion then Firefox dropbox upload is denied.  If I leave it in, then Firefox Dropbox upload works.
