NOTE:

If you are using a dynamic port in your environment, web extensions do not work. So, users will not be able to sync their files directly from iManage Work. 

Before enabling web extensions for iManage Drive, we recommend that you create a user group in iManage Control Center and add web extensions only for this group of users. This ensures that the Sync & Open in File Explorer option is available only for these users when they sign in to iManage Work at imanage.work or cloudimanage.com.
