Blocked File Types: SharePoint


As a server administrator, you can use Central Administration to restrict certain kinds of files from being uploaded or retrieved, based on the file extension. For example, a file with the .exe file extension can potentially contain code that runs on client computers when the file is downloaded. If files with the .exe file extension are blocked, users can neither upload nor download a file with the .exe extension. By blocking this file type, potentially dangerous content in the .exe file cannot be downloaded and run on client computers.
By default, several standard file extensions are blocked, including any file extensions that are treated as executable files by Windows Explorer. Files with curly braces { or } are also automatically blocked. The file extensions blocked by default are shown in the following table.
