Securing physical access to file contents

A system, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one computer-readable medium encoded with instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• receive, from a computing device, an input indicative of at least one person proximate to the computing device, the at least one person being different than a user of the computing device;
• determine that the at least one person is within a threshold distance from the computing device based on the received input;
• and
• modify an output of the computing device in response to the determination of the at least one person being within the threshold distance from the computing device, so as to inhibit receipt of content from the computing device by the at least one person.

A method, comprising:

• receiving data via an image capture device of a computing device in response to a request to access a file, the data indicative of at least one person proximate to the computing device, the at least one person in addition to a user of the computing device;
• determining, by the computing system, at least one authorized person in addition to the user, the at least one authorized person authorized to access the file;
• receiving an image of the at least one authorized person;
• processing the received data from the image capture device of the computing device and the image of the at least one authorized person to determine that the at least one person is unauthorized to access the file;
• and
• modifying an output of the computing device in response to the determination that the at least one person is unauthorized to access the file, so as to inhibit receipt of the file by the at least one person.
