Sharing secured files among applications using an operating system framework

Abstract

Disclosed are mechanisms that enable secure file sharing between applications using an operating system framework. In some examples, an extension map is received by a client device. The extension map relates a file extension to an alias file extension. A management software development kit (SDK) is used by an application. The management SDK identifies that the application originates a file having the file extension, stores the file as an extension-aliased file by changing its file extension to the alias file extension according to the extension map. The extension-aliased file is transferred to a recipient application using a file sharing utility of an operating system of the client device.
