If the problem continues, further troubleshooting is needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Android phones, a similar message like &#8220;Your data cannot be put here&#8221; can sometimes appear from the Google Keyboard (Gboard).

It\u2019s implemented to prevent sensitive data from being leaked to insecure locations on devices. The error message is triggered by the organization&#8217;s data loss prevention policies. However, it can also appear due to other issues, such as outdated software.
