For self-hosted Learn and the 2016 Theme, I can provide a CSS only solution. Customize it to your needs and have a permanent message appear below the header when a user is browsing with IE. I guess something similar could be achieved for SaaS by changing the CSS classes and elements. @media all and (-ms-high-contrast: none), (-ms-high-contrast:…

A way is have a html module that has a redirect to a folder in the Content Collection (CC)? You can limit access to the folder by Institution Roles (You need to have this turned on to limit Content Management Settings > Manage User Lists > Institution Role User List) And then you could webdav (instead of FTP) the files to the folder in the CC? …

I believe this just means that BBDrive will no longer be developed, but if you're using it and it's working today, it should continue to work. We are heavy users of the CMS for our institution and have looked at other products, cyberduck, etc. as well as the built in Windows WebDAV client and they're all similar.
