PEER-TO-PEER SYNCABLE STORAGE SYSTEM

摘要

A system for creating a sync group in a distributed system may include an offline electronic device having a short range communication transmitter and a storage service, and a computer-readable storage medium comprising one or more programming instructions. The system may receive a request from an application to create a sync group, and verify that the application has read access to the storage service. In response to verifying that the application has read access to the storage service, the system may create the sync group by receiving an indication of one or more objects stored in the storage service that are to be shared, identifying one or more members of the sync group, and assigning one or more permissions to the one or more members that are identified. The system may synchronize access to the objects among the electronic device and one or more member electronic devices.

1. A method of creating a sync group, the method comprising:
receiving, by a storage service associated with a first electronic device, a request from an application to create a sync group, wherein the first electronic device is offline; verifying, by the storage service, that the application has read access to the storage service; in response to verifying that the application has read access to the storage service, creating the sync group by:
receiving an indication of one or more objects stored in the storage service that are to be shared,identifying one or more members of the sync group with whom to share the one or more objects, andassigning one or more permissions to the one or more members that are identified, and synchronizing access to the objects among the first electronic device and one or more member electronic devices associated with the one or more members such that the objects are accessible via each of the member electronic devices when the member electronic devices are within range of a short range communication transmitter of the first electronic device, wherein access to the objects by the member electronic devices is in accordance with the one or more permissions that are assigned.
