  • Accessing specialized fileserver
    Patent number: 10305910
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a host that accesses files from a portable storage device with a shared filesystem is described. In an exemplary method, the host transmits a request to access the shared filesystem, where the shared filesystem includes a security policy that disallows one application accessing a file in the shared filesystem corresponding to another application. The host further receives an indication of the result of the request.

  • Specialized network fileserver
    Patent number: 10091203
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a portable storage device that provides a specialized network fileserver is described. In an exemplary method, the portable storage device retrieves a list of applications on the portable storage device, where each of the applications has a private filesystem. For each of the applications, the portable storage device determines if that application will share the corresponding private filesystem and adds that private filesystem to a shared filesystem of the portable storage device is that is shareable. The portable storage device further advertises the shared filesystem to a host that is coupled to the portable storage device.

  • PORTABLE STORAGE INTERFACE
    Publication number: 20130103860
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a portable storage device that provides a tethering and portable storage service to a host is described. In an exemplary method, the portable storage device configures a tethering and a portable storage service interface for the host. The portable storage device provides the tethering service to a network for the host through the tethering interface. In addition, the portable storage device shares files stored on the portable storage device through the portable storage interface.
