Abstract

Systems, components, devices, and methods for synchronizing files between a local file system and a server are provided. In the example, the synchronization of individual files is paused by placing the individual files on hold. One non-limiting example method accesses a file stored on a local file system for synchronization with an associated file on a server, and determines whether differences between the file and the associated file prevent synchronization. The method places the file on hold when it is determined that differences between the file and the associated file prevent synchronization. The hold state suspends the synchronization of the contents of the file with the contents of the associated file. In some examples, the method continues to synchronize topology changes and / or resumes synchronization for files that have been placed on hold after determining that the files are no longer different from the associated files.

Description

Background technique [0001] Network-based storage services store files on computing devices that are available via a network. Non-limiting examples of web-based storage services include OneDrive from Microsoft Corporation of Redmond, Washington, Google Drive from Google Inc. of Mountain View, CA, Box Inc. of Los Altos, CA, Box from San Francisco, CA. Dropbox from Dropbox Corporation, and syncplicity from syncplicity LLC of Santa Clara, California. Depending on the use, files stored using a network-based storage service may be accessed by only a single user, or by multiple users. [0002] The network-based storage service also typically synchronizes files stored locally on the client computing device with files stored by the network-based storage service. For example, a network-based storage service may synchronize files in one or more directories located in a file system on a client computing device. After a user edits a file in the directory, the changes to the file are re...
