Blocked USB file transfer
We are struggling with some user reports about blocked USB file transfer functionality on their Samsung A52 / A54 devices enrolled with corporate-owned work profile.
Microsoft released a blog p...
Be aware also Google changed out the default behaviour of usb when left unconfigured, which aligns with the experience you're describing.

Hey everyone,
I hope you've all had a good week.
Just wanted to come back to you. To clarify the change mentioned by jasonbayton above was updated by Microsoft Intune. I know there was a bit of uncertainty mentioned so just wanted to confirm this.
From our own testing, as you mentioned Weberda, it appears toggling the "USB File Transfer" policy setting from "Not Configured" to "block" (save), then back to "Not configured" (save) will enable USB file transfer. I believe Microsoft are working on an update to iron this out.
If you continue to have difficulties though, please do contact Microsoft Intune directly and they can advise you further.
Hope this helps and do keep us posted if you can.
Thanks again,
Lizzie
I've asked MS to change the options to "Allow" and "Not Configured." But, I'm getting some strange response from them that Intune is working as designed, and MS is leaving it all up to Android. Maybe the "right" customer has to ask....
Someone in product hasn't been paying attention to the change, and support will be none-the-wiser either.
Lizzie is there a partner rep you can point to this thread so they sort themselves out? 😁
jasonbayton, I think we may have posted at the same time - yeah, I'm relaying this back internally. Thanks for checking.
