Abstract
Some embodiments provide one or more of systems, methods, software, and data structures to control locations where files may be stored. Some such embodiments include receiving a request to perform a file management function affecting a location where a first file is stored and querying a repository of file management rules as a function of at least one of a file type of the first file, a location where the first file is stored, a destination of where the first file is to be stored, and an identity of a user to retrieve a first set of file management rules. These embodiments further include determining if the destination is an authorized location where the first file may be stored as a function of the first set of retrieved file management rules and preventing the file management function when the determining identifies that the destination is not an authorized location.
