Hi,

How are you using alfresco?
Whether it is the
1. Alfresco explorer
2. FTP
3. CIFS

If it is through explorer then you can customize the alfresco upload component to allow only desired mimetypes.
IF it is through the FTP, there also you can check the mimetype before moving the file to alfresco ftp.

Sorry not sure about CIFS.

Hi Patil,

Actually most of my users are accessing alfresco through CIFS.

Do you think is possible to configure Alfresco Explorer when user moving files such as .mp3, 3gp etc to alfresco shared folder that files will be blocked ?

Thanks

Hi,

I am not sure about whether filtering is possible or not in CIFS. For this you have to explore SMB.

One more option is user can put any file in some particular location, you can create the rule on that space to filter the files based on the mimetype.
