Multi-identity graphical user interface for secure file sharing

A system associated with a user, comprising:

• one or more network interfaces adapted to communicate data over a computer network;
• a hardware processor coupled to the network interfaces and adapted to execute one or more processes;
• and
• a memory configured to store a process executable by the hardware processor, the process when executed operable to:
• display a file system object icon representation of a file system object, the file system object including at least one file or at least one folder originally created by the user,
• determine whether user input is received to associate a personal identity or a work identity to the file system object,
• in response to receiving a user input selection to associate the personal identity to the file system object, display a personal identity icon adjacent the file system object icon,
• in response to receiving a user input selection to associate the work identity to the file system object, display a work identity icon adjacent the file system object icon,
• protect access to file system objects associated with the personal identity using information that depends on an identity of the user,
• protect access to file system objects associated with the work identity using information that depends upon an identity of an organization associated with the work identity and information relating to a present status of the user with respect to the organization, by further:
• revoke access to the file system object by the user when the organization no longer approves of the users' association with the organization, and
• prevent the individual from revoking access to the shared data file by the organization subsequent to revoking the individual's access to the shared data file,
• even when the file system object was originally created by the user.
