1217526 - 5.0.0 - Issue: When you try to add a second location-based policy for the same cloud provider, the following error message is displayed:
The following cloud sync folder was specified more than once.
Although this behavior is expected, when you dismiss the error, the ePO page displays a constant "Loading..." message; the previous page is never displayed.
1153339 - 5.0.0 - Issue: The Grant Keys Policy is visible briefly after you upgrade the extension from 5.0.0/5.0.1 to 5.0.2.

Explanation: The field that shows the blank value is used to hold the unique identifier (GUID) of the key. But, no GUID is stored for a "Default Local Key" (DLK) and so the value displayed is blank.
893609 - 4.3.0 Expected behavior Issue: FRP Key Management does not allow chevron characters (< and >) for FRP Key names.

The above scenario relates to the offsite access options for removable media devices.
