To provide data protection, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps gives you visibility into all the files from your connected apps. After you connect Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps to an app using the App connector, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps scans all the files, for example all the files stored in OneDrive and Salesforce. Then, Defender for Cloud Apps rescans each file every time it's modified – the modification can be to content, metadata, or sharing permissions. Scanning times depend on the number of files stored in your app. You can also use the **Files** page to filter files to investigate what kind of data is saved in your cloud apps.

- **File type** – Defender for Cloud Apps scans the file to determine whether the true file type matches the MIME type received (see table) from the service. This scan is for files that are relevant for data scan (documents, images, presentations, spreadsheets, text, and zip/archive files). The filter works per file/folder type. For example, *All folders that are ...* or *All spreadsheet files that are...*
