Abstract
Embodiments relate to systems and methods for tracking local and remote file usage, and aggregating the resulting file usage statistics for presentation to a user. The operating system of a local computer can cause presentation of a merged list of unified file usage information, wherein the merged list of unified file usage information comprises a first representation of the local file associated with local file usage information and a second representation of a Web application file associated with remote file usage information from a remote network host. The operating system can further receive a selection of at least one of the local file or the Web application file from the merged list of unified file usage information, determine, using saved preference information, a default application with which to open the at least one of the local file or the Web application file, and, responsive to a request, open the at least one of the local file or the Web application file with an application other than the default application.
