Abstract
One example method includes identifying, in a computing system, an aggregate data set that includes both data used by a first user and data used by a second user, examining file metadata associated with the data in the aggregate data set and, based on the examination of the file metadata, determining whether or not any data in the aggregate data set is shared by the first and second users. When a determination is made that some data in the data set is shared by the first and second users, the method includes further determining how much of the data is shared, assigning a strength of connection between the first user and the second user based on the extent to which the first user and second user share data and, based on the strength of connection, taking an action to improve operation and/or configuration of the computing system.
