Abstract
Media devices that transfer content to other devices may man age a user's received media files by creating a media device inbox. Shared content may be stored in an inbox cache that is separate from the device's main content library to exclude limited-access inbox content from interaction with the device's main library. Further, inbox content may be altered upon expiration to reduce resource consumption and inbox clutter.
