Abstract
Variety of approaches to control file hydration behavior are described. A filter driver initiates operations to control file hydration behavior upon receiving a process identifier (PID) registration from a synchronization engine. Upon receiving a file operation request associated with a placeholder file, a PID and a process name associated with the file operation is identified. A hydration behavior is detected based on the PID or the process name. A decision associated with the file operation request is rendered based on the hydration behavior.
