Abstract

Virtual file management is disclosed. Managed content from multiple separate storage domains is organized into a virtual file system that maintains with respect to each of at least a subset of said separate storage domains information of storage domain specific file system primitives to perform primitive operations with respect to content stored in that storage domain. Policies are determined that apply to the managed content. Each policy indicates primitive operations permitted to be performed with respect to the managed content. Information comprising the virtual file system and the policies is provided to a client application on a mobile device. The client application is configured to provide access to the managed content in the virtual file system in a manner at least in part indicated in the policies, including by allowing the permitted primitive operations to be performed using said storage domain specific file system primitives.
