Abstract
A computer-implemented method for providing security for synchronized files may include (1) synchronizing, using a cloud folder synchronization service, a backend server with both a client folder on a client machine and an additional client folder on an additional client machine, (2) propagating a file from the client folder to the backend server through the cloud folder synchronization service, (3) identifying, using the cloud folder synchronization service, a result of a security scan of the propagated file, and (4) adjusting, using the cloud folder synchronization service, the synchronization of the file with the additional client folder based on the result of the security scan. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
