Improved approaches for providing notifications in a distributed file security system are disclosed. The file security system includes a file security server that manages file security for a plurality of clients. When security criteria (e.g., security policies or rules) change at the file security system, typically the clients need to be notified so that they operate in accordance with the correct security criteria. The security criteria impacts whether a particular client (or its user) are able to access certain files being protected by the file security system. A client can be notified in different ways depending on network characteristics. In one embodiment, an appropriate way to perform notifications between the file security server and clients can be automatically determined, thus advantageously minimizing user impact and allowing the system to transparently adapt to different networks.
