Systems and methods for protecting sensitive files from unauthorized access are disclosed. An exemplary method involves detecting a connection of the computing device to an electronic device. An authorized connection list is accessed. It is then determined whether the connection is identified in the authorized connection list. If the connection is not identified in the authorized connection list, the method involves accessing sensitive file information which identifies at least one sensitive file stored on the computing device, and preventing access to the at least one sensitive file identified by the sensitive file information.
