3.1.2.2.2 Ensure desktop access to Drive is disabled

Level

Profile Applicability

Enterprise Level 1

Type

Manual

Description

Prevent documents from being locally accessible on an unconnected device.

Rationale

This setting prevents an organization's files from being stored locally, thus limiting data loss issues if the device is lost or stolen.

NOTE: The Google Drive desktop application has its own way of handling "Offline" files and does not obey the Drive and Doc > Offline > Control offline access using device policies setting. Not allowing Google Drive for desktop on the device will prevent this channel.

Impact

The end user will not be able to use Google Drive for desktop and its convenient integration into the Windows file explorer.
