AUTOMATED DATA SYNCHRONIZATION

摘要

Systems and methods are presented for storing and updating data. The metadata associated with a user computing device may be used to determine whether the user computing device is configured to maintain a synchronized copy of the file. Moreover, a user computing device may be authorized to modify a file through a virtual desktop instance on a PES. If a user computing device is authorized to synchronize the file, the file may be accessible locally without a network connection.

主权项

1. A method for updating files, the method comprising:
under control of a Program Execution Service (PES) that includes a plurality of physical computing systems configurable to execute one or more virtual desktop instances, each virtual desktop instance associated with a computing environment that includes an operating system configurable to execute one or more applications, each virtual desktop instance accessible by a computing device of a user of the PES via a network: storing a file at the PES, the file created by an application at a virtual desktop instance provided by the PES, the file comprising user data generated based at least in part on user interaction with the application; forming a connection between the PES and a first computing device of a user, the first computing device remote from the PES; receiving from the first computing device a request to access the file from the PES; providing the first computing device with a copy of the file, wherein the copy of the file is stored locally on the first computing device and is accessible by the first computing device without the connection between the PES and the first computing device; and synchronizing, using the connection, the copy of the file with the file stored at the PES, wherein the synchronizing includes updating the filed stored at the PES to reflect modifications to the copy of the file after reestablishment of an interrupted connection.
