NF Blocks Productivity Sites By Default....

Posted: 14-Mar-2023 | 5:58AM · 3 Replies ·

I understand that I can whitelist or blacklist sites, on a per child basis, however this is not something that I really want to have to do.

Therefore it was rather inconvenient when NF blocked google drive and google docs, whilst my child was studying, and I was unavailable to support them....

I can't imagine why it's blocking those sites, used by many many schools (esp since pandemic), out of the box.

Hi @wcndave,

These websites falls under "File Sharing" category. There are some sites under file sharing which won't be appropriate for children and hence the category is blocked by default house rules.

Thanks,

I don't know why you've marked tools used by Google Classroom as inappropriate for children.

Doesn't really make sense.

Also, this is a recent change.

you can remove the "file sharing" category and it will work
