Users can be logged in to modern workspaces using different cloud identity providers and single sign-on. A login manager can be provided on a user computing device to obtain a user's login credentials via a custom login screen. The login manager can then inject the login credentials into an authentication interface of a cloud identity provider to authenticate the user for purposes of logging in to the user computing device. The login manager can leverage this authentication to perform single sign-on for all resources of a modern workspace such that the user can be logged in to the modern workspace via any cloud identity provider.

Context-based intelligent placement of files in aggregated cloud storage is provided. A virtual volume can be created to provide an aggregated interface for accessing aggregated cloud storage. When the user attempts to create a file on the virtual volume, the virtual volume can employ a placement algorithm to intelligently select one of the aggregated cloud storage providers to which the request to create the file will be directed. The placement algorithm can consider context of the aggregated cloud storage providers, network metrics, and other factors in its selection. In this way, the aggregated cloud storage can be efficiently used while maximizing the user experience.

A file can be intelligently associated with an application. When a user attempts to open a file on a user computing device, context for the file can be collected and provided to an intelligent file association engine. The intelligent file association engine can use the context to select an application to be used to open the file from among different applications. These different applications can include a local application, a VDI application, and a cloud application.

Intelligently associating a file with an application

Access to functionality of a web application can be provided via microapps. A microapp platform can include a microapp orchestrator that administrators may use to create and deploy microapps. A microapp may include a simple user interface with one or more elements that are associated with a function of a web application. When the microapp is deployed to a user computing device, the user can use the elements of the microapp's user interface to invoke the function of the web application without needing to directly interact with the web application.
