Abstract

Techniques for managing files in a designated location are disclosed. An example of the designated location is a folder, a directory, a repository, a device, or a storage place. A set of access rules is applied to a designated location such that all files in the designated location shall have substantially similar security. As a result, secured files can be easily created and managed with respect to the designated location and users with access privilege to the designated location can access most of the files, in not all, in the designated location.
