在工作场所环境中，人们需要提供对文件的足够访问权限以进行协作，而不会无意中暴露敏感文件。有证据表明存在文件共享问题，并且会降低安全性并干扰协作。管理这些问题的一个潜在解决方案是向用户提供有关文件共享设置和活动的清晰信息。当前的文件管理器要么隐藏信息，要么干脆不提供信息。使用认知框架，我们确定了用户在文件共享情况下需要了解的核心信息，进行了两项研究以确定如何最好地将这些概念表示为标签和图标，并开发了一个显示文件共享活动的文件管理器原型。这些设计活动的结果可用于其他文件共享应用程序，从而提高其安全性和协作可用性。
Within the workplace setting, people need to provide sufficient access to files to allow collaboration, without inadvertently exposing sensitive files. Evidence suggests that file sharing problems exist, and decrease security and interfere with collaboration. A potential solution for managing these problems is to present the user with clear information about file sharing settings and activities. Current file managers either hide the information or simply do not provide it. Using an awareness framework, we identified the core information that users need to be aware of for file sharing situations, performed two studies to determine how to best represent those concepts as labels and icons, and developed a prototype for a file manager that reveals file sharing activity. The results of these design activities can be adopted for other file sharing applications, improving their security and collaborative usability.
