A file protection method may include receiving a package that includes files for installing and executing an application, adding a protection file for an operation of a file protection module to the package, and providing the package to which the protection file is added over a network. In response to execution of a control command for a desired file that is controlled by the application through a service code of the application at an electronic device on which the application is installed and executed through the package, a protection command included in the file protection module is called and control of the desired file and integrity verification associated with data stored in the desired file are processed in response to the called protection command.
