Block run executables in removable device

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way to prevent users from running or coping any executables in removable device with excluded files type that considered not risky.

Hi Obaida Thunibat,

You can prevent the user's from copying files with specific extension under the Data loss prevention policy -using File rule.

Prevent them to copy files to the removable device, not the opposite. I need to prevent them to copy data to the PC from the removable device.
