1. A computer system to:
- provide a filesystem;
export a shared directory of the filesystem for access by a consumer application over a network;
determine whether one or more protection criteria of the shared directory are satisfied;
in response to a determination that the one or more protection criteria of the shared directory are satisfied;
automatically move one or more file entities from the shared directory to a protected directory; and
prevent performance of file management activities on the one or more file entities of the protected directory by the consumer application.
