Applying policies to Google Drive mounted as a USB device

F1E DLP applies web channel policies to files transferred in Google Drive.

Google Drive, when mounted as a USB device or other network drive is classified as cloud storage rather than removable media. When you upload a file having sensitive information restricted for web channels to Google Drive, F1E DLP applies policies and blocks the file from being uploaded to Google Drive. Files containing sensitive information that is blocked for a USB device is not blocked in Google Drive.
