    Hi @tejasshenai

    Yes. Its possible with App Control.

    I tested with Firmware version SonicOS Enhanced 6.5.4.7-83n

    First make sure you are not blocking the Google Drive / signatures.

    Navigate to Firewall --> App Control-->Category: "Download-Apps" --> Application: "Google Drive"--> Viewed By: Signature.

    Once you confirm above, Navigate to the App Control Webmail category; Application: Google Mail; Viewed By: Signatures.

    Under the signatures remove the block for SSL Traffic 6 and try to open the google drive; Follow the below screen shot for your reference.

    While testing the google drive in browser/app; observe your Firewall logs and you can identify if any signature is preventing your google drive access from the gmail signatures or not;

    Let me know whether above steps help you to resolve your issue or not.

  • Thank you so much @Ajishlal. I will try this and let you know.

    I was also trying the same way but I was facing problem. I also took help from sonicwall technical support but they said it will not possible with app control.

    Hi @tejasshenai

    Its working for my production environment.

  • Hi @tejasshenai ,


    Please ensure that you have CLient DPI-SSL enabled on the firewall for this configuration requirement to work.
