  • Do you mean the google docs or like cache and setting for for the actual chrome browser? Commented Mar 5, 2021 at 23:30
  • No I am talking about local user files. For example, web applications can use local file system API to access user's local files if such event is happened how can I obtain whether the web application accessed the user's local files? Commented Mar 5, 2021 at 23:31
  • Auditing may help. The problem is finding out whether a file write was initiated by the browser. You can filter audit records by PID, but if the browser uses a new process to update files, it's difficult. Commented Mar 6, 2021 at 1:21
  • You could use inotifywait as well - plenty of examples on the net Commented Mar 6, 2021 at 9:21
