Disable zip file web restores

Overview

This article explains how to disable zip file web restores for an organization. When enabled, users and administrators can perform zip file web restores, which are designed to quickly restore a collection of files to any computer with a web browser, even without access to the original computer.

Disabling zip file web restores limits file exfiltration potential by preventing users from downloading data in a browser.

Considerations
