This application relates to techniques for dynamically displaying relevant files for selection by a user at a computing device. The technique can provide a file browser that, upon detection of a file selection, performs enumeration procedures on a file access service that provides the file. The results of the enumeration procedures are utilized by a file provider daemon to synchronize locally cached files that fall under the domain of at least one file access service. Using key property data identified by the file provider daemon, a file access service responsible for a locally cached file can communicate an updated version of the locally cached for receipt by the file browser. The file browser can then display the updated version of the locally cached file within a pre-defined category for quick access by the user.
