1. A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, a computer program having a plurality of code sections, said code sections executable by a computer for causing the computer to perform the steps of: associating at least one electronic document stored in a network storage system with an associative object represented by a digital seal, wherein the digital seal uniquely corresponds to an image of a seal, stamp, or tape that is visually displayable within a user interface; displaying said image within said user interface; presenting at least one multimedia object within said user interface, wherein said multimedia object is a user selectable representation for said associative object; moving the displayed image within the user interface as said digital seal is associated with said at least one electronic document so as to visually simulate said image being affixed to said at least one electronic document; generating an audio signal when the displayed image is moved adjacent to or over another image within the user interface representative of the at least one electronic document so as to audibly simulate said image being affixed to said at least one electronic document; storing one or more metadata attributes for said associative object, said metadata attributes specifying one or more characteristics related to said associative object, wherein at least one of said characteristics comprises one or more authorization codes required before allowing said at least one electronic document to be retrieved, and wherein at least one of said characteristics comprises biometric fingerprint data associated with at least one user; and responsive to said document being associated with said associative object, modifying a storage location in said network storage system of said at least one electronic document based on at least one of said stored metadata attributes, wherein said modified storage location is at least one among a new physical storage location and a new logical storage location in said network storage system.
