Embodiment Construction

[0017] overview

[0018] With the proliferation of application developers, users of computing devices are exposed to an increasing number of applications. However, the trustworthiness of these applications varies widely, as do the developers who write them. Thus, traditional file systems that have historically permitted unimpeded access may expose computing devices to flawed and even malicious applications.

[0019] Application file system access techniques are described. In an implementation, the proxy module is utilized to manage application access to the file system to access local files, networked computers, and / or peripherals communicatively coupled to the computing device. For example, an agent module may be configured to facilitate the output of a user interface. Via the user interface, the user can authenticate the application's request for access to the file system. In this way, the proxy module can help users manage the access to be granted to applications execut...

Abstract

Application file system access techniques are described. In implementations, a request is received by one or more modules via an application programming interface from an application that is executed on the computing device to access a file system of a computing device. A portion is exposed in a user interface by the one or more modules, the portion having an option that is selectable by a user to confirm that access is to be granted, the portion exposed such that the application is not aware of what is contained in the portion. Responsive to selection of the option, access is granted to the application by the one or more modules such that the application is not aware of where in the file system the access is granted.

Description

Background technique [0001] Users can access a wide variety of applications from a wide variety of different sources. For example, users have traditionally obtained applications from "bricks and mortar" stores, on computer-readable storage media such as optical discs, and then installed the applications on the users' home computing devices. These apps are usually provided by reputable developers and therefore considered trustworthy. [0002] Later, subsequent technologies were developed in which users access the network in order to locate and install applications. For example, an application marketplace may be made available for access via the Internet to locate and purchase applications. In some cases, an application marketplace may include a large number of applications, possibly from a variety of different developers. However, because of the large number of applications that may be available and the variety of developers who may provide the applications, the functionalit...
