Network based file storage system monitor

A non-transitory machine readable medium, comprising instructions, which when performed by the machine, cause the machine to perform the operations comprising:

• at a monitoring computing device:
• requesting user authorization to access a data archive associated with a user on the plurality of network based file storage systems;
• receiving the user authorization to access the data archive associated with the user on the plurality of network based file storage systems;
• periodically determining, over a network and using the authorization, from the plurality of network based file storage systems, information about changes to one or more file system elements stored on the plurality of network based file storage systems;
• monitoring a particular one of the one or more file system elements to determine an unauthorized access of the particular one of the one or more file system elements based upon the information about changes to the one or more file system elements;
• determining, based upon a fingerprint of the particular one of the one or more file system elements, a set of users that have stored the particular one of the one or more file system elements in a plurality of data archives, each of the data archives associated with a respective user of the set of users on the plurality of network based file storage systems;
• and
• responsive to determining an unauthorized access of the particular one of the one or more file system elements, providing a graphical user interface (GUI) with a list of the set of users and an indication that the unauthorized access occurred.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory, including instructions, which when performed by the processor causes the system to perform the operations comprising:
• at a monitoring computing device:
• requesting user authorization to access a data archive associated with a user on the plurality of network based file storage systems;
• receiving the user authorization to access the data archive associated with the user on the plurality of network based file storage systems;
• periodically determining, over a network and using the authorization, from the plurality of network based file storage systems, information about changes to one or more file system elements stored on the plurality of network based file storage systems;
• monitoring a particular one of the one or more file system elements to determine an unauthorized access of the particular one of the one or more file system elements based upon the information about changes to the one or more file system elements;
• determining, based upon a fingerprint of the particular one of the one or more file system elements, a set of users that have stored the particular one of the one or more file system elements in a plurality of data archives, each of the data archives associated with a respective user of the set of users on the plurality of network based file storage systems;
• and
• responsive to determining an unauthorized access of the particular one of the one or more file system elements, providing a graphical user interface (GUI) with a list of the set of users and an indication that the unauthorized access occurred.
