A data protection system includes a data storage apparatus and an information processing apparatus. In the information processing apparatus, a redirection processing apparatus sets a personal storage area corresponding to a user to an accessible state according to a redirection policy. Furthermore, a write control unit controls data writing permission/prohibition for each storage area according to a write management policy. In particular, the write control unit prohibits data writing to a local storage unit except for the storage area to be used to access the personal storage area. With this, the data does not remain in the information processing apparatus, thereby preventing data leakage from the information processing apparatus.

The present technology pertains to synchronizing contents of a directory external to a synchronized directory by a content management system. The content management system is configured to synchronize only objects in the synchronized directory. Accordingly, the present technology creates an anchor object that represents the directory external to the synchronized directory within the synchronized directory. The anchor object includes special attributes that indicate to the synchronization client that the anchor object represents an external directory, and allows the contents of that directory to be synchronized directly to a server on the content management system without first storing the contents of the external directory on the hard drive of the client device.

The present disclosure provides a virtual file management method and apparatus, and a computer-readable recording medium thereof, which may comprises obtaining an object identifier for distinguishing objects, wherein the object includes at least one of a virtual file or a virtual folder and obtaining the object based on the obtained object identifier.

In an approach to discovering software in a container, one or more computer processors identify one or more sets of filesystem structure information for an active container. The one or more computer processors create a virtual filesystem based on the one or more identified sets of filesystem structure information. The one or more computer processors discover one or more sets of software by comparing a set of catalog entries to the created virtual filesystem. The one or more computer processors report the one or more sets of discovered software.

Examples of systems described herein include a file server virtual machine of a virtualized file server configured to manage storage of a plurality of storage items. The file server virtual machine including a file system configured to receive an access request directed to a storage item of the plurality of storage items and associated with a user. The file system is further configured to retrieve an access control list having permissions information associated with the storage item, and to cache a permissions profile for the user including all permissions pertaining to the user for the storage item. The file system is further configured to determine whether the access request is permissible based on the cached permissions profile.

The present technology pertains to synchronizing contents of a directory external to a synchronized directory by a content management system. The content management system is configured to synchronize only objects in the synchronized directory. Accordingly, the present technology creates an anchor object that represents the directory external to the synchronized directory within the synchronized directory. The anchor object includes special attributes that indicate to the synchronization client that the anchor object represents an external directory, and allows the contents of that directory to be synchronized directly to a server on the content management system without first storing the contents of the external directory on the hard drive of the client device.

A method for application development is provided. The method comprises receiving a number of documents, wherein each document represents a component of an application, and wherein a subset of the documents comprises overrides that link one component to another. A file tree structure is created for the application from the documents, wherein the file tree structure is organized according to component type. The documents are grouped according to component type and overrides, and the file tree structure is displayed to a user according to component type or according to a custom view specified by the user, wherein both views display the grouped documents and overrides among the documents.

Transparent file processing is supported in Unix-like operating systems by emulating the desired file processing through a number of recipes that accommodate different contexts. Recipes are provided, for example, for local folders in user space, for whole devices (e.g., flash drives or network drives), and for folders synchronized to cloud data. By detecting the path type for a file operation and selecting and applying the appropriate recipe, file processing can be performed in a manner transparent to the user.

The present disclosure provides a virtual file management method and apparatus, and a computer-readable recording medium thereof, which may comprises obtaining an object identifier for distinguishing objects, wherein the object includes at least one of a virtual file or a virtual folder and obtaining the object based on the obtained object identifier.

A server receives over a network from a client a request for accessing files stored in a plurality of heterogeneous storage devices hosted by a plurality of storage providers over the network, including a first storage device of a first storage provider and a second storage device of a second storage provider. In response, the server accesses, on behalf of a user of the client, the first storage device and the second storage device to retrieve information concerning the files. The server transmits data to the client over the network, the data representing a logical file system view of the files without exposing actual storage locations of the files stored in the first and second storage devices.
