Abstract

See full text

A new approach is proposed that contemplates systems and methods to support file synchronization between a local host and a cloud storage via one or more local content appliances (CAs), wherein each content appliance is a storage device/host configured to locally maintain documents and files previously downloaded from the cloud storage. First, a client agent at the local host discovers and connects to the CA that manage its files locally. To access a file/document that is not cached on its local host, the client agent requests and receives the file from the CA instead of downloading it directly from the cloud storage. When parts of the file are updated locally by the client, the client agent is configured to transmit the updated file to the CA, wherein the updated file is considered as having been fully committed from the client's perspective. The CA then synchronizes with and uploads the revised file to the cloud storage and/or other CAs in the background.
