File conflict detection

Abstract:

Methods and systems for shared file conflict detection on a computing device are described herein. A computing device may store a shared file that may be accessed by a variety of other computing devices. An operating system executing on one or more computing devices may generate file handles corresponding to file operations associated with the shared file. One or more of the computing devices may receive, from a remote computing device, a request for a file operation associated with the shared file. A notification corresponding to file handles associated with the shared file may be transmitted to a user. The request for the file operation may be implemented or rejected based on file handles associated with the shared file, the file operation, and/or whether the file operation may cause an application to crash or cause data corruption.
