Enhanced Security Mechanism for File Access

Abstract:

Methods and systems for providing secure file sharing are described herein. A computing device may receive data from a resource provider in response to a request received by the resource provider. The data may include information about a user of a client device that made the request for a file and information about the file, and the request may be for access to the file and made by the user with an owner of the requested file being unknown to the user. The computing device may parse the received data to identify a subset of data. The subset of data may be configured to enable the owner to determine whether to permit the user to access to the file. Further, the computing device may provide a notification, which includes at least some of the subset of data, to an endpoint device of the owner.
