A system and method for differentiating private and shared files is disclosed. The invention includes the steps of: receiving a request from a computer for access to a shared file; providing the computer with access to a computer specific private copy of the shared file, if the private copy already exists; and creating the computer specific private copy of the shared file for the computer to access, if the private copy does not already exist and if write access to the shared file is requested.
