Abstract
Techniques describe preventing sensitive data from being misappropriated during an operation performed by a cloud synchronization application. A request from a cloud sync application to upload a file to a cloud storage service is intercepted. The file is currently stored on a client computer of an enterprise network. An account associated with the request is identified. The file is evaluated based on a data loss prevention policy and the account associated with the request. The request is blocked based on the evaluation.
