ABSTRACT:
A portable file system capable of sharing data among various computer environments, such that a user can freely utilize his own data under various computer environments. The system includes at least one portable data processing device having a memory unit for storing file data and file management data of portable side files; at least one stationary data processing device having a processing unit for executing desired processing by making accesses to the portable side files; and a conversion unit for converting at least one of the file data and the file management data of each requested file among the portable side files for which a file access request is issued by the processing unit into a form suitable for the stationary data processing device, such that the processing unit makes an access to each requested file among the portable side files according to converted file data/file management data obtained by the conversion unit. The conversion unit may be provided in the portable data processing device side, or in the stationary data processing device side.
