Patent attributes
With multiple software applications, multiple electronic devices for a user to access and work upon, and multiple potential storage locations for the files it is difficult for a user to remember the identity of a file worked upon, its storage location, or which application they employed. Whilst some applications provide a user with a listing of recently opened files these are only those accessed by that specific application upon a specific device. Embodiments of the invention provide users with a synthesized centralized view of all files accessed irrespective of where the user has stored the electronic content, with which electronic device the electronic content was accessed with, or with which software application the electronic content was accessed with.
