Systems and methods that enable implementation of content aware file management labeling. Techniques disclosed enable real-time analysis of a data file so that associations between the data file and applicable file management label(s) can be automatically suggested and/or made while a user is working in the data file. A user may deploy an application on a client device to edit a data file. While the user is actively editing the data file, the application may transmit modification data to a content analysis service which analyzes the modification data to determine whether the modifications result in a file management label becoming applicable to the data file. Ultimately, the content analysis service may transmit a verdict to the client device to cause the application to display a labeling suggestion to the user and/or to automatically apply a label to the data file while it is being worked on by the user.

Systems and methods for implementing content aware file management labeling

Techniques for labeling data files that enable a file management label to persist on a data file. Variations disclosed herein enable a file management label to be embedded within a data file so that the file management label propagates with the data file when the data file is copied and/or moved between systems and/or workloads. In some embodiments, an application may be configured to write the file management label directly into a stream of the data file. For example, an application client that is run locally on a client device may open the data file by accessing its corresponding stream. While the data file is open within the application client such that a user may edit content of the data file, the application client may be caused to associate the file management label with the data file. Ultimately, the application client may write this association directly into the stream.
