Abstract
An access server allows secure access to commonly used files stored on multiple file sources from a variety of client devices. The access server extracts a list of file sources associated with the user, and accesses each of those sources. The server is then configured to extract a list of most recently used files by the current user as well as information associated with those files. The access server also processes electronic mail attachments. The access server intercepts electronic mail messages containing attachments, and transmits the attachments to a file server.
