Abstract
Techniques to enforce policies with respect to managed files and/or endpoints are disclosed. A policy to be applied with respect to a synchronization set is received at a file management system. Compliance with the policy across a plurality of heterogeneous endpoints associated with the synchronization set is ensured by propagating the policy to the heterogeneous endpoints. Each of the endpoints is configured to enforce at the endpoint policies received from the file management system, including by responding in a manner prescribed by the policy to occurrence of a policy-triggering event defined in the policy.
Claims23
A method of managing files, comprising:
- receiving, at a file management system, a policy to be applied with respect to a synchronization set;
- and
- ensuring compliance with the policy across a plurality of heterogeneous endpoints associated with the synchronization set by propagating the policy to the heterogeneous endpoints, wherein each of the endpoints is configured to enforce at the endpoint policies received from the file management system, including by responding in a manner prescribed by the policy to occurrence of a policy-triggering event defined in the policy.
A file management system, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive, at a file management system, a policy to be applied with respect to a synchronization set;
- and
- ensure compliance with the policy across a plurality of heterogeneous endpoints associated with the synchronization set by propagating the policy to the heterogeneous endpoints, wherein each of the endpoints is configured to enforce at the endpoint policies received from the file management system, including by responding in a manner prescribed by the policy to occurrence of a policy-triggering event defined in the policy;
- and
- a memory or other storage device coupled to the processor and configured to store the policy.
A computer program product to manage files, the computer program product being embodied in a tangible, non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- receiving, at a file management system, a policy to be applied with respect to a synchronization set;
- and
- ensuring compliance with the policy across a plurality of heterogeneous endpoints associated with the synchronization set by propagating the policy to the heterogeneous endpoints, wherein each of the endpoints is configured to enforce at the endpoint policies received from the file management system, including by responding in a manner prescribed by the policy to occurrence of a policy-triggering event defined in the policy.
